More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Marriage is like life - it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses.
Robert Louis Stevenson
To avoid an occasion for our virtues is a worse degree of failure than to push forward pluckily and make a fall.
Robert Louis Stevenson
And this shall be for music when no one else is near, The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear! That only I remember, that only you admire, Of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire.
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
O my poor old Harry Jekyll, if ever I read Satan's signature upon a face, it is on that of your new friend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Everyone who got where he is has had to begin where he was.
Robert Louis Stevenson
and he began to understand what a wild game we play in life he began to understand that a thing once done cannot be undone nor changed by saying I am sorry!
Robert Louis Stevenson
Mankind was never so happily inspired as when it made a cathedral: a thing as simple and specious as a statue to the first glance, and yet on examination, as lively and interesting as a forest in detail.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Live life to the fullest.
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
Everyone lives by selling something.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is not enough to be ready to go where duty calls. A man should stand around where he can hear the call!
Robert Louis Stevenson
Times are changed with him who marries there are no more by-path meadows, where you may innocently linger, but the road lies long and straight and dusty to the grave. Idleness, which is often becoming and even wise in the bachelor, begins to wear a different aspect when you have a wife to support.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Since hate poisons the soul, don't cherish enmities or grudges: avoid people who make you unhappy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
These are my politics: to change what we can to better what we can but still to bear in mind that man is but a devil weakly fettered by some generous beliefs and impositions and for no word however sounding, and no cause however just and pious, to relax the stricture on these bonds.
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
It is better to lose health like a spendthrift than to waste it like a miser.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Love- what is love? A great and aching heart Wrung hands and silence and a long despair
Robert Louis Stevenson
But of works of art little can be said.
Robert Louis Stevenson
