More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Of what shall we be proud of if we are not proud of our friends?
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
When a torrent sweeps a man against a boulder, you must expect him to scream, and you need not be surprised if the scream is sometimes a theory.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.

Robert Louis Stevenson
I believe in an ultimate decency of things.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Make the most of the best and the least of the worst.
Robert Louis Stevenson

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
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
If this is death, it is easier than life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is no music like a little river's . . . It takes the mind out-of-doors . . . and . . . it quiets a man down like saying his prayers.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by simply teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys.
Robert Louis Stevenson
No man is useless while he has a friend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To believe in immortality is one thing, but it is first needful to believe in life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Marriage is a step so grave and decisive that it attracts light-headed, variable men by its very awfulness.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Be what you are, and become what you are capable of becoming.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The friendly cow, all red and white, I love with all my heart She gives me cream with all her might, To eat with apple-tart.
Robert Louis Stevenson
