Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
Fear is the strong passion it is with fear that you must trifle, if you wish to taste the intensest joys of living.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There are, indeed, few merrier spectacles than that of many windmills bickering together in a fresh breeze over a woody country their halting alacrity of movement, their pleasant business, making bread all day with uncouth gesticulation their air, gigantically human, as of a creature half alive, put a spirit of romance into the tamest landscape.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Anyone can carry their burden, however hard, until nightfall. Anyone can do their work, however hard, for one day.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Most of our pocket wisdom is conceived for the use of mediocre people, to discourage them from ambitious attempts, and generally console them in their mediocrity.
Robert Louis Stevenson
An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Away with funeral music-set The pipe to powerful lips- The cup of life's for him that drinks And not for him that sips.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Times are changed with him who marries there are no more by-path meadows, where you may innocently linger, but the road lies long and straight and dusty to the grave. Idleness, which is often becoming and even wise in the bachelor, begins to wear a different aspect when you have a wife to support.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Go, little book, and wish to all Flowers in the garden, meat in the hall, A bin of wine, a spice of wit, A house with lawns enclosing it, A living river by the door, A nightingale in the sycamore!
Robert Louis Stevenson
