More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Going for character: why not now, and where you stand?
Robert Louis Stevenson
Here it is about gentlemen of fortune. They lives rough, and they risk swinging, but they eat and drink like fighting-cocks, and when a cruise is done, why, it's hundreds of pounds instead of hundreds of farthings in their pockets.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Youth is wholly experimental.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Bright is the ring of words When the right man rings them.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain common work as it comes certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things of life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I wish these flies would piss off.
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
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
Well, well, Henry James is pretty good, though he is of the nineteenth century, and that glaringly.
Robert Louis Stevenson
O my poor old Harry Jekyll, if ever I read Satan's signature upon a face, it is on that of your new friend.
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
All sorts of allowances are made for the illusions of youth, and none, or almost none for the disenchantment of age.
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
Marriage is like life - it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The physician...is the flower (such as it is) of our civilization.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is better to lose health like a spendthrift than to waste it like a miser.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Fiction is to the grown man what play is to the child it is there that he changes the atmosphere and tenor of his life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The bold may not live long, but the timid never live at all.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Some day...after I am dead, you may perhaps come to learn the right and wrong of this. I cannot tell you.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I've a grand memory for forgetting.
Robert Louis Stevenson
