If you would grow great and stately, You must try to walk sedately.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There can be no fairer ambition than to excel in talk to be affable, gay, ready, clear, and welcome.
Robert Louis Stevenson
and he began to understand what a wild game we play in life he began to understand that a thing once done cannot be undone nor changed by saying I am sorry!
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is almost as if the millennium were arrived, when we shall throw our clocks and watches over the housetop, and remember time and seasons no more. Not to keep hours for a lifetime is... to live forever.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head, Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Sightseeing is the art of disappointment.
Robert Louis Stevenson
But even if we take matrimony at its lowest, even if we regard it as no more than a sort of friendship recognised by the police, there must be degrees in the freedom and sympathy realised, and some principle to guide simple folk in their selection.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Sing a song of seasons something bright in all, flowers in the summer, fires in the fall.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is one of the worst things of sentiment that the voice grows to be more important than the words, and the speaker than that what is spoken.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We all know what Parliament is, and we are all ashamed of it.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Sir, with no intention to take offence, I deny your right to put words into my mouth.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We advance in years somewhat in the manner of an invading army in a barren land the age that we have reached, as the saying goes, we but hold with an outpost, and still keep open communications with the extreme rear and first beginnings of the march.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We consume the carcasses of creatures of like appetites, passions and organs with our own, and fill the slaughterhouses daily with screams of pain and fear.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Had be been Shakespeare, he would then have written Troilus and Cressidato brand the offending sex but being only a little dog, he began to bite them.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We do not go to cowards for tender dealing there is nothing so cruel as panic the man who has least fear for his own carcase, has most time to consider others.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Loving God, help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I love this quote uttered by the character Widget in The Night Circus. He credits it to Herr Thiessen but knows it is a literary quote by the another author. Wine is bottled poetry
