More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Every man is his own doctor of divinity, in the last resort.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is no progress whatever. Everything is just the same as it was thousands, and tens of thousands, of years ago. The outward form changes. The essence does not change.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is an idea abroad among moral people that they should make their neighbors good. One person I have to make good: Myself. But my duty to my neighbor is much more nearly expressed by saying that I have to make him happy if I may.
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
The web, then, or the pattern, a web at once sensuous and logical, an elegant and pregnant texture: that is style, that is the foundation of the art of literature.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If a man loves the labour of his trade, apart from any question of success or fame, the gods have called him.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Give us courage and gaiety and the quient mind . . .
Robert Louis Stevenson
You can forgive people who do not follow you through a philosophical disquisition but to find your wife laughing when you had tears in your eyes, or staring when you were in a fit of laughter, would go some way towards a dissolution of the marriage.
Robert Louis Stevenson
An aspiration is a joy forever, a possession as solid as a landed estate, a fortune which we can never exhaust and which gives us year by year a revenue of pleasurable activity.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Sir, with no intention to take offence, I deny your right to put words into my mouth.
Robert Louis Stevenson
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
Teacher, tender comrade, wife, A fellow-farer true through life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In anything fit to be called by the name of reading, the process itself should be absorbing and voluptuous we should gloat over a book, be rapt clean out of ourselves.
Robert Louis Stevenson
-I am not sure whether he's sane. -If there's any doubt about the matter, he is.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If you wish the pick of men and women, take a good bachelor and a good wife
Robert Louis Stevenson
To forget oneself is to be happy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The bold may not live long, but the timid never live at all.
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
The spirit, Sir, is one of mockery.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Ice and iron cannot be welded.
Robert Louis Stevenson
