Robert Louis Stevenson
Courage, the footstool of the Virtues, upon which they stand.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
A hanging in a good quarrel is an easy death they say, though I could never hear of any that came back to say so.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
Had be been Shakespeare, he would then have written Troilus and Cressidato brand the offending sex but being only a little dog, he began to bite them.
Robert Louis Stevenson
For God's sake give me the young man who has brains enough to make a fool of himself!
Robert Louis Stevenson
