More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
There are two things that men should never weary of, goodness and humility we get none too much of them in this rough world among cold, proud people.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson

The obscurest epoch is to-day.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There can be no fairer ambition than to excel in talk to be affable, gay, ready, clear, and welcome.
Robert Louis Stevenson
An intelligent person, looking out of his eyes and hearkening in his ears, with a smile on his face all the time, will get more true education than many another in a life of heroic vigils.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The seeming significance of nature's appearances, their unchanging strangeness to the senses, and the thrilling response which they awaken in the mind of man . . . If we could only write near enough to the facts, and yet with no pedestrian calm, but ardently, we might transfer the glamour of reality direct upon our pages.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Give us courage and gaiety and the quient mind . . .
Robert Louis Stevenson
