Make up your mind to be happy.
Robert Louis Stevenson

And this shall be for music when no one else is near, The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear! That only I remember, that only you admire, Of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire.

Robert Louis Stevenson

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
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

The bold may not live long, but the timid never live at all.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
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

If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
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
Image
Some places speak distinctly. Certain dark gardens cry aloud for a murder certain old houses demand to be haunted certain coasts are set apart for shipwreck.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
Friends: People who know you well, but like you anyway. The cruelest lies are often told in silence.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Image
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
Image
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.
