Go, little book, and wish to all Flowers in the garden, meat in the hall, A bin of wine, a spice of wit, A house with lawns enclosing it, A living river by the door, A nightingale in the sycamore!

More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Wine is bottled poetry.
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
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
Marriage is a step so grave and decisive that it attracts light-headed, variable men by its very awfulness.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Seaward ho! Hang the treasure! It's the glory of the sea that has turned my head.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We look for some reward of our endeavors and are disappointed that not success, not happiness, not even peace of conscience, crowns our ineffectual efforts to do well. Our frailties are invincible, our virtues barren the battle goes sore against us to the going down of the sun.
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
Extreme busyness, whether at school or college, kirk or market, is a symptom of deficient vitality.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Everyone lives by selling something.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Bright is the ring of words When the right man rings them, Fair the fall of songs When the singer sings them. Still they are carolled and said - On wings they are carried - After the singer is dead And the maker buried.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To cast in it with Hyde was to die a thousand interests and aspirations.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Cruel children, crying babies, All grow up as geese and gabies, Hated, as their age increases, By their nephews and their nieces.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Anyone can carry his burden, however heavy, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, until the sun goes down. And this is all that life really means.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Bright is the ring of words When the right man rings them.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Youth is wholly experimental.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It was for one minute that I saw him, but the hair stood upon my head like quills. Sir, if that was my master, why had he a mask upon his face?
Robert Louis Stevenson
My devil had been long caged, he came out roaring
Robert Louis Stevenson
