More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
The cruelest lies are often told in silence. A man may have sat in a room for hours and not opened his teeth, and yet come out of that room a disloyal friend or a vile calumniator.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To be overwise is to ossify and the scruple-monger ends by standing stockstill.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The price we have to pay for money is sometimes liberty.
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
Cruel children, crying babies, All grow up as geese and gabies, Hated, as their age increases, By their nephews and their nieces.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The child that is not clean and neat, With lots of toys and things to eat, He is a naughty child, I'm sure-- Or else his dear Papa is poor.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Anyone can carry his burden, however heavy, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, until the sun goes down. And this is all that life really means.
Robert Louis Stevenson
A great part of this life consists in contemplating what we cannot cure.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The spirit, Sir, is one of mockery.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To be wholly devoted to some intellectual exercise is to have succeeded in life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also.
Robert Louis Stevenson
This is still the strangest thing in all man's travelling, that he should carry about with him incongruous memories.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Being happy enables you to be free from domination by the outside world.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Courage, the footstool of the Virtues, upon which they stand.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Some people swallow the universe like a pill they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The body is a house of many windows: there we all sit, showing ourselves and crying on the passers-by to come and love us.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It blows a snowing gale in the winter of the year The boats are on the sea and the crews are on the pier. The needle of the vane, it is veering to and fro, A flash of sun is on the veering of the vane. Autumn leaves and rain, The passion of the gale.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Here it is about gentlemen of fortune. They lives rough, and they risk swinging, but they eat and drink like fighting-cocks, and when a cruise is done, why, it's hundreds of pounds instead of hundreds of farthings in their pockets.
Robert Louis Stevenson
