More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
If he be Mr. Hyde he had thought, I shall be Mr. Seek.
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
Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but primarily by catchwords.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To make our morality center on forbidden acts is to defile the imagination and to introduce into our judgments of our fellow men a secret element of gusto.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Benjamin Franklin went through life an altered man because he once paid too dearly for a penny whistle. My concern springs usually from a deeper source, to wit, from having bought a whistle when I did not want one.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I have been made to learn that the doom and burden of our life is bound forever on man’s shoulders and when the attempt is made to cast it off, it but returns upon us with more unfamiliar and more awful pressure.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Nothing made by brute force lasts.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Every child can remember laying his head in the grass, staring into the infinitesimal forest and seeing it grow populous with fairy armies.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The bold may not live long, but the timid never live at all.
Robert Louis Stevenson
An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We are not content to pass away entirely from the scenes of our delight we would leave, if but in gratitude, a pillar and a legend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
-I am not sure whether he's sane. -If there's any doubt about the matter, he is.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The price we have to pay for money is sometimes liberty.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is a certain frame of mind to which a cemetery is, if not an antidote, at least an alleviation. If you are in a fit of the blues, go nowhere else.
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
We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean not to affect your reader, but to affect him precisely as you wish.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Some places speak distinctly. Certain dark gardens cry aloud for a murder certain old houses demand to be haunted certain coasts are set apart for shipwreck.
