More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson

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
Saints are sinners who kept on going.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
If you wish the pick of men and women, take a good bachelor and a good wife
Robert Louis Stevenson
We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.
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
Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Ice and iron cannot be welded.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The person who has stopped being thankful has fallen asleep in life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
You're either my ship's cook-and then you were treated handsome-or Cap'n Silver, a common mutineer and pirate, and then you can go hang!
Robert Louis Stevenson
Every man is his own doctor of divinity, in the last resort.
Robert Louis Stevenson
