More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
It is one thing to mortify curiosity, another to conquer it.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Courage, the footstool of the Virtues, upon which they stand.
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
When I was a boy, I was a bit puzzled, and hardly knew weather it was myself or the world that was curious and worth looking into. Now I know that it is myself, and stick to that.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Sir, with no intention to take offence, I deny your right to put words into my mouth.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Mankind was never so happily inspired as when it made a cathedral: a thing as simple and specious as a statue to the first glance, and yet on examination, as lively and interesting as a forest in detail.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Most of our pocket wisdom is conceived for the use of mediocre people, to discourage them from ambitious attempts, and generally console them in their mediocrity.
Robert Louis Stevenson
An aim in life is the only fortune worth the finding and it is not to be found in foreign lands, but in the heart itself.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Everyone lives by selling something.
Robert Louis Stevenson
All sorts of allowances are made for the illusions of youth, and none, or almost none for the disenchantment of age.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Nothing made by brute force lasts.
Robert Louis Stevenson
For God's sake give me the young man who has brains enough to make a fool of himself!
Robert Louis Stevenson
Nothing more strongly arouses our disgust than cannibalism, yet we make the same impression on Buddhists and vegetarians, for we feed on babies, though not our own.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Do not forget that even as to work is to worship so to be cheery is to worship also, and to be happy is the first step to being pious.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is the mark of a good action that it appears inevitable in retrospect.
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
Everyone who got where he is has had to begin where he was.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The essence of love is kindness.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The person who has stopped being thankful has fallen asleep in life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
