More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
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
Once you are married, there is nothing left for you, not even suicide.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The true success is to labour.
Robert Louis Stevenson
A little amateur painting in water colors shows the innocent and the quiet mind.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but primarily by catchwords.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To forget oneself is to be happy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Times are changed with him who marries there are no more by-path meadows, where you may innocently linger, but the road lies long and straight and dusty to the grave. Idleness, which is often becoming and even wise in the bachelor, begins to wear a different aspect when you have a wife to support.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We advance in years somewhat in the manner of an invading army in a barren land the age that we have reached, as the saying goes, we but hold with an outpost, and still keep open communications with the extreme rear and first beginnings of the march.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is almost as if the millennium were arrived, when we shall throw our clocks and watches over the housetop, and remember time and seasons no more. Not to keep hours for a lifetime is... to live forever.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Bright is the ring of words When the right man rings them, Fair the fall of songs When the singer sings them. Still they are carolled and said - On wings they are carried - After the singer is dead And the maker buried.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Sing a song of seasons something bright in all, flowers in the summer, fires in the fall.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Ice and iron cannot be welded.
Robert Louis Stevenson
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
Teacher, tender comrade, wife, A fellow-farer true through life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I would rather do a good hours work weeding than write two pages of my best nothing is so interesting as weeding. I went crazy over the outdoor work, and at last had to confine myself to the house, or literature must have gone by the board.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is a mere illusion that, above a certain income, the personal desires will be satisfied and leave a wider margin for the generous impulse.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Things looked at patiently from one side after another generally end by showing a side that is beautiful.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In marriage, a man becomes slack and selfish, and undergoes a fatty degeneration of his moral being.
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
