Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
Doubtless the world is quite right in a million ways but you have to be kicked about a little to convince you of the fact.
Robert Louis Stevenson
So soon as prudence has begun to grow up in the brain, like a dismal fungus, it finds its first expression in a paralysis of generous acts.
Robert Louis Stevenson
With the half of a broken hope for a pillow at night That somehow the right is the right And the smooth shall bloom from the rough: Lord, if that were enough?
Robert Louis Stevenson
I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Do not measure success by today's harvest. Measure success by the seeds you plant today.
Robert Louis Stevenson
