More quotes by 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
Ice and iron cannot be welded.
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
Sing a song of seasons something bright in all, flowers in the summer, fires in the fall.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Now, to be properly enjoyed, a walking tour should be gone upon alone.... Freedom is of the essence, because you should be able to stop and go on and follow this way or that as the freak takes you.... There should be no cackle of voices at your elbow to jar on the meditative silence of the morning.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I believe in an ultimate decency of things.
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
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
In the harsh face of life faith can read a bracing gospel.
Robert Louis Stevenson
My tea is nearly ready and the sun has left the sky It's time to take the window to see Leerie going by For every night at tea-time and before you take your seat, With lantern and with ladder he comes posting up the street.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is one thing to mortify curiosity, another to conquer it.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To cast in it with Hyde was to die a thousand interests and aspirations.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I love this quote uttered by the character Widget in The Night Circus. He credits it to Herr Thiessen but knows it is a literary quote by the another author. Wine is bottled poetry
Robert Louis Stevenson
No human being ever spoke of scenery for above two minutes at a time, which makes me suspect that we hear too much of it in literature.
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
I regard you with an indifference closely bordering on aversion.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Courage, the footstool of the Virtues, upon which they stand.
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
I would rather do a good hours work weeding than write two pages of my best nothing is so interesting as weeding. I went crazy over the outdoor work, and at last had to confine myself to the house, or literature must have gone by the board.
Robert Louis Stevenson
