Robert Louis Stevenson
Anyone can carry his burden, however heavy, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, until the sun goes down. And this is all that life really means.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
And the true realism, always and everywhere, is that of the poets: to find out where joy resides, and give it a voice far beyond singing. For to miss the joy is to miss all.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I hazard the guess that man will be ultimately known for a mere polity of multifarious, incongruous, and independent denizens.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I smoke a pipe abroad, because To all cigars I much prefer it, And as I scorn you social laws, My choice has nothing to deter it.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Teacher, tender comrade, wife, A fellow-farer true through life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The only noble thing a man can do with money is to build a schooner.
Robert Louis Stevenson
