Robert Louis Stevenson
To avoid an occasion for our virtues is a worse degree of failure than to push forward pluckily and make a fall.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Every man is his own doctor of divinity, in the last resort.
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
