More quotes by 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
The seeming significance of nature's appearances, their unchanging strangeness to the senses, and the thrilling response which they awaken in the mind of man . . . If we could only write near enough to the facts, and yet with no pedestrian calm, but ardently, we might transfer the glamour of reality direct upon our pages.
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
I regard you with an indifference closely bordering on aversion.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Truth in spirit, not truth to the letter, is the true veracity.
Robert Louis Stevenson
My devil had been long caged, he came out roaring
Robert Louis Stevenson
Love- what is love? A great and aching heart Wrung hands and silence and a long despair
Robert Louis Stevenson
And if a man reads very hard, as the old anecdote reminds us, he will have little time for thought.
Robert Louis Stevenson
A proposition of geometry does not compete with life and a proposition of geometry is a fair and luminous parallel for a work of art. Both are reasonable, both untrue to the crude fact both inhere in nature, neither represents it.
Robert Louis Stevenson
A man should stop his ears against paralyzing terror and run the race that is set before him with a single mind.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I've a grand memory for forgetting.
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
The San Francisco Stock Exchange was the place that continuously pumped up the savings of the lower classes into the pockets of the millionaires.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Away with funeral music-set The pipe to powerful lips- The cup of life's for him that drinks And not for him that sips.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If a man lives to any considerable age, it can not be denied that he laments his imprudences, but I notice he often laments his youth a deal more bitterly and with a more genuine intonation.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In the other gardens And all up the vale, From the autumn bonfies See the smoke trail! Pleasant summer over And all the summer flowers, The red fire blazes, the grey smoke towers. Sing a song of seasons! Something bright in all, Flowers in the summer Fires in the fall!
Robert Louis Stevenson
Bright is the ring of words When the right man rings them.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Loving God, help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men.
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 the harsh face of life faith can read a bracing gospel.
Robert Louis Stevenson
