Robert Louis Stevenson
After all, the commonplaces are the great poetic truths.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The bold may not live long, but the timid never live at all.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Wine is bottled poetry.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but primarily by catchwords.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Sit loosely in the saddle.
Robert Louis Stevenson
