Robert Louis Stevenson
Once you are married, there is nothing left for you, not even suicide.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The child that is not clean and neat, With lots of toys and things to eat, He is a naughty child, I'm sure-- Or else his dear Papa is poor.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In the law of God, there is no statute of limitations.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If he be Mr. Hyde he had thought, I shall be Mr. Seek.
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
There is certainly some chill and arid knowledge to be found upon the summits of formal and laborious science but it is all round about you, and for the trouble of looking, that you will acquire the warm and palpitating facts of life.
Robert Louis Stevenson
You cannot run away from weakness you must some time fight it out or perish and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?
Robert Louis Stevenson
