More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Jew storekeepers have already learned the advantage to be gained from this [unlimited credit]: they lead on the farmer into irretrievable indebtedness, and keep him ever after as their bondslave hopelessly grinding in the mill.
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
...those little people, my brownies, who do one half of my work for me while I am fast asleep, and in all human likelihood do the rest for me as well, when I am wide awake and fondly suppose I do for myself.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I incline to Cain's heresy, he used to say quaintly: I let my brother go to the devil in his own way.
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
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
I know what happiness is, for I have done good work.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The outer world, from which we cower into our houses, seemed after all a gentle habitable place and night after night a man's bed, it seemed, was laid and waiting for him in the fields, where God keeps an open house.
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 takes hard writing to make easy reading.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We all know what Parliament is, and we are all ashamed of it.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Teacher, tender comrade, wife, A fellow-farer true through life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Fear is the strong passion it is with fear that you must trifle, if you wish to taste the intensest joys of living.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Youth now flees on feathered foot.
Robert Louis Stevenson
When I say writing, O believe me, it is rewriting that I have chiefly in mind.
Robert Louis Stevenson
No man is useless while he has a friend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Wealth I ask not, hope nor love, Nor a friend to know me All I seek, the heaven above And the road below me.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To forget oneself is to be happy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
