Cruel children, crying babies, All grow up as geese and gabies, Hated, as their age increases, By their nephews and their nieces.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I regard you with an indifference closely bordering on aversion.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
Fifteen men on the Dead Man's Chest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
Some people swallow the universe like a pill they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If a man loves the labour of his trade, apart from any question of success or fame, the gods have called him.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Being happy enables you to be free from domination by the outside world.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Sing a song of seasons something bright in all, flowers in the summer, fires in the fall.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Doubtless the world is quite right in a million ways but you have to be kicked about a little to convince you of the fact.
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's a pleasant thing to be young, and have ten toes.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Once you are married, there is nothing left for you, not even suicide.
Robert Louis Stevenson
A little amateur painting in water colors shows the innocent and the quiet mind.
Robert Louis Stevenson
