More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Make the most of the best and the least of the worst.

To believe in immortality is one thing, but it is first needful to believe in life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The less I understood of this farrago, the less I was in a position to judge of its importance.
Robert Louis Stevenson
That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much.
Robert Louis Stevenson
How do you like to go up in a swing, Up in the air so blue? Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing Ever a child can do!
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is perhaps a more fortunate destiny to have a taste for collecting shells than to be born a millionaire.
Robert Louis Stevenson
When a torrent sweeps a man against a boulder, you must expect him to scream, and you need not be surprised if the scream is sometimes a theory.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I lived on rum, I tell you. It's been meat and drink, and man and wife, to me.
Robert Louis Stevenson
No human being ever spoke of scenery for above two minutes at a time, which makes me suspect that we hear too much of it in literature.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.
Robert Louis Stevenson
You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.
Robert Louis Stevenson
A proposition of geometry does not compete with life and a proposition of geometry is a fair and luminous parallel for a work of art. Both are reasonable, both untrue to the crude fact both inhere in nature, neither represents it.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I know what happiness is, for I have done good work.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In the law of God, there is no statute of limitations.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in.
Robert Louis Stevenson
These are my politics: to change what we can to better what we can but still to bear in mind that man is but a devil weakly fettered by some generous beliefs and impositions and for no word however sounding, and no cause however just and pious, to relax the stricture on these bonds.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It's a pleasant thing to be young, and have ten toes.
Robert Louis Stevenson
And if a man reads very hard, as the old anecdote reminds us, he will have little time for thought.
Robert Louis Stevenson
For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Children are certainly too good to be true.
Robert Louis Stevenson
