Robert Louis Stevenson
To love playthings well as a child, to lead an adventurous and honorable youth, and to settle when the time arrives, into a green and smiling age, is to be a good artis en life and deserve well of yourself and your neighbor.
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

Robert Louis Stevenson
After all, the commonplaces are the great poetic truths.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
All speech, written or spoken, is a dead language, until it finds a willing and prepared hearer.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The saddest object in civilization, and to my mind the greatest confession of its failure, is the man who can work, who wants work, and who is not allowed to work.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is no foreign land it is the traveller only that is foreign.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The cruelest lies are often told in silence. A man may have sat in a room for hours and not opened his teeth, and yet come out of that room a disloyal friend or a vile calumniator.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Extreme busyness, whether at school or college, kirk or market, is a symptom of deficient vitality.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is no music like a little river's . . . It takes the mind out-of-doors . . . and . . . it quiets a man down like saying his prayers.
Robert Louis Stevenson
my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head, Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The outer world, from which we cower into our houses, seemed after all a gentle habitable place and night after night a man's bed, it seemed, was laid and waiting for him in the fields, where God keeps an open house.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.
Robert Louis Stevenson
