More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.
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
Some people swallow the universe like a pill they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We advance in years somewhat in the manner of an invading army in a barren land the age that we have reached, as the saying goes, we but hold with an outpost, and still keep open communications with the extreme rear and first beginnings of the march.
Robert Louis Stevenson
They say cowardice is infectious but then argument is, on the other hand, a great emboldener.
Robert Louis Stevenson
If you would grow great and stately, You must try to walk sedately.
Robert Louis Stevenson
A little amateur painting in water colors shows the innocent and the quiet mind.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Let first the onion flourish there, Rose among roots, the maiden-fair, Wine-scented and poetic soul Of the capacious salad bowl.
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
We should wipe two words from our vocabulary: gratitude and charity. In real life, help is given out of friendship, or it is not valued it is received from the hand of friendship, or it is resented.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Everyone lives by selling something.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings.
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
Things looked at patiently from one side after another generally end by showing a side that is beautiful.
Robert Louis Stevenson
And the true realism, always and everywhere, is that of the poets: to find out where joy resides, and give it a voice far beyond singing. For to miss the joy is to miss all.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I am in the habit of looking not so much to the nature of a gift as to the spirit in which it is offered.
Robert Louis Stevenson
And if a man reads very hard, as the old anecdote reminds us, he will have little time for thought.
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
Some day...after I am dead, you may perhaps come to learn the right and wrong of this. I cannot tell you.
Robert Louis Stevenson
