More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
I believe in an ultimate decency of things.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The first experience can never be repeated. The first love, the first sun-rise, the first South Sea Island, are memories apart, and touched a virginity of sense.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is one thing to mortify curiosity, another to conquer it.
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
-I am not sure whether he's sane. -If there's any doubt about the matter, he is.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Youth is wholly experimental.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is a great thing if you can persuade people that they are somehow or other partakers in a mystery. It makes them feel bigger.
Robert Louis Stevenson
An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Bright is the ring of words When the right man rings them, Fair the fall of songs When the singer sings them. Still they are carolled and said - On wings they are carried - After the singer is dead And the maker buried.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I've a grand memory for forgetting.
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
But of works of art little can be said.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It is better to emit a scream in the shape of a theory than to be entirely insensible to the jars and incongruities of life and take everything as it comes in a forlorn stupidity.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Away with funeral music-set The pipe to powerful lips- The cup of life's for him that drinks And not for him that sips.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I incline to Cain's heresy, he used to say quaintly: I let my brother go to the devil in his own way.
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
Old and young, we are all on our last cruise.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.
Robert Louis Stevenson
