More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.
Robert Louis Stevenson
His past was fairly blameless few men could read the rolls of their life with less apprehension yet he was humbled to the dust by the many ill things he had done, and raised up again into sober and fearful gratitude by the many he had come so near to doing, yet avoided.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but primarily by catchwords.
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
A man should stop his ears against paralyzing terror and run the race that is set before him with a single mind.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The web, then, or the pattern, a web at once sensuous and logical, an elegant and pregnant texture: that is style, that is the foundation of the art of literature.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Sing a song of seasons something bright in all, flowers in the summer, fires in the fall.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is a fellowship more quiet even than solitude, and which, rightly understood, is solitude made perfect.
Robert Louis Stevenson
In every part and corner of our life, to lose oneself is to be a gainer to forget oneself is to be happy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
All error, not merely verbal, is a strong way of stating that the current truth is incomplete.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I've a grand memory for forgetting.
Robert Louis Stevenson
A man finds he has been wrong at every stage of his career, only to deduce the astonishing conclusion that he is at last entirely right.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I know what happiness is, for I have done good work.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Some places speak distinctly. Certain dark gardens cry aloud for a murder certain old houses demand to be haunted certain coasts are set apart for shipwreck.
Robert Louis Stevenson
But of works of art little can be said.
Robert Louis Stevenson
All sorts of allowances are made for the illusions of youth, and none, or almost none for the disenchantment of age.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The true success is to labour.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Must we to bed indeed? Well then, Let us arise and go like men, And face with an undaunted tread The long black passage up to bed.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Make up your mind to be happy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind, spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies.
Robert Louis Stevenson
