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
We are not content to pass away entirely from the scenes of our delight we would leave, if but in gratitude, a pillar and a legend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To love is the great amulet that makes this world a garden.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.
