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
Everyone lives by selling something.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The world has no room for cowards. We must all be ready somehow to toil, to suffer, to die.
Robert Louis Stevenson
With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer to the truth, by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one, but truly two.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of that unquiet and delightful epoch is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
And the true realism, always and everywhere, is that of the poets: to find out where joy resides, and give it a voice far beyond singing. For to miss the joy is to miss all.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I sat in the sun on a bench the animal within me licking the chops of memory the spiritual side a little drowsed, promising subsequent penitence, but not yet moved to begin.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Be what you are, and become what you are capable of becoming.
Robert Louis Stevenson
All speech, written or spoken, is a dead language, until it finds a willing and prepared hearer.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To forget oneself is to be happy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I believe in an ultimate decency of things.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We should wipe two words from our vocabulary: gratitude and charity. In real life, help is given out of friendship, or it is not valued it is received from the hand of friendship, or it is resented.
Robert Louis Stevenson
An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.
Robert Louis Stevenson
These are my politics: to change what we can to better what we can but still to bear in mind that man is but a devil weakly fettered by some generous beliefs and impositions and for no word however sounding, and no cause however just and pious, to relax the stricture on these bonds.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is not enough to be ready to go where duty calls. A man should stand around where he can hear the call!
Robert Louis Stevenson
He who sows hurry reaps indigestion.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Hope looks for unqualified success but Faith counts certainly on failure, and takes honorable defeat to be a form of victory.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It blows a snowing gale in the winter of the year The boats are on the sea and the crews are on the pier. The needle of the vane, it is veering to and fro, A flash of sun is on the veering of the vane. Autumn leaves and rain, The passion of the gale.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Ice and iron cannot be welded.
Robert Louis Stevenson
