More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
If a man loves the labour of his trade, apart from any question of success or fame, the gods have called him.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I smoke a pipe abroad, because To all cigars I much prefer it, And as I scorn you social laws, My choice has nothing to deter it.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The web, then, or the pattern, a web at once sensuous and logical, an elegant and pregnant texture: that is style, that is the foundation of the art of literature.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Jew storekeepers have already learned the advantage to be gained from this [unlimited credit]: they lead on the farmer into irretrievable indebtedness, and keep him ever after as their bondslave hopelessly grinding in the mill.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Once you are married, there is nothing left for you, not even suicide.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong. I do not say give them up, for they may be all you have but conceal them like a vice, lest they should spoil the lives of better and simpler people.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Of what shall we be proud of if we are not proud of our friends?
Robert Louis Stevenson
The essence of love is kindness.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The sticks break, the stones crumble, The eternal altars tilt and tumble, Sanctions and tales dislimn like mist About the amazed evangelist. He stands unshook from age to youth Upon one pin-point of the truth.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Every man is his own doctor of divinity, in the last resort.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The obscurest epoch is to-day.
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
A knowledge that another has felt as we have felt, and seen things not much otherwise than we have seen them, will continue to the end to be one of life's choicest blessings.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In each of us, two natures are at war – the good and the evil. All our lives the fight goes on between them, and one of them must conquer. But in our own hands lies the power to choose – what we want most to be we are.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In every part and corner of our life, to lose oneself is to be a gainer to forget oneself is to be happy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
How do you like to go up in a swing, Up in the air so blue? Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing Ever a child can do!
Robert Louis Stevenson
I lived on rum, I tell you. It's been meat and drink, and man and wife, to me.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Youth is wholly experimental.
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
