More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Youth is the time to go flashing from one end of the world to the other, both in mind and body.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There comes an end to all things the most capacious measure is filled at last and this brief condescension to evil finally destroyed the balance of my soul.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The person who has stopped being thankful has fallen asleep in life.
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
This profusion of eccentricities, this dream in masonry and living rock is not a drop scene in a theatre, but a city in the world of reality.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In the harsh face of life faith can read a bracing gospel.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The friendly cow, all red and white, I love with all my heart She gives me cream with all her might, To eat with apple-tart.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Once you are married, there is nothing left for you, not even suicide.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Absences are a good influence in love and keep it bright and delicate.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Do not measure success by today's harvest. Measure success by the seeds you plant today.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Saints are sinners who kept on going.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain common work as it comes certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things of life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is a great thing if you can persuade people that they are somehow or other partakers in a mystery. It makes them feel bigger.
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
It was Silver's voice, and before I had heard a dozen words, I would not have shown myself for all the world. I lay there, trembling and listening, in the extreme of fear and curiostiy, for, in those dozen words, I understood that the lives of all the honest men aboard depended on me alone.
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
It is not for nothing, either, that the umbrella has become the very foremost badge of modern civilization--the Urim and Thummim of respectability. . . . So strongly do we feel on this point, indeed, that we are almost inclined to consider all who possess really well-conditioned umbrellas as worthy of the Franchise.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Old and young, we are all on our last cruise.
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
I sat in the sun on a bench the animal within me licking the chops of memory the spiritual side a little drowsed, promising subsequent penitence, but not yet moved to begin.
Robert Louis Stevenson
