Robert Louis Stevenson
Little do ye know your own blessedness for to travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labour.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
Nobody speaks of a beautifful view for 5 minutes
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
There is an idea abroad among moral people that they should make their neighbors good. One person I have to make good: Myself. But my duty to my neighbor is much more nearly expressed by saying that I have to make him happy if I may.
Robert Louis Stevenson
and he began to understand what a wild game we play in life he began to understand that a thing once done cannot be undone nor changed by saying I am sorry!
Robert Louis Stevenson
Live life to the fullest.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
Being happy enables you to be free from domination by the outside world.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Everything is true only the opposite is true too you must believe both equally or be damned.
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
Loving God, help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is better to emit a scream in the shape of a theory than to be entirely insensible to the jars and incongruities of life and take everything as it comes in a forlorn stupidity.
Robert Louis Stevenson
...those little people, my brownies, who do one half of my work for me while I am fast asleep, and in all human likelihood do the rest for me as well, when I am wide awake and fondly suppose I do for myself.
Robert Louis Stevenson
