Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
Saints are sinners who kept on going.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
The most beautiful adventures are not those we go to seek.
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
The saddest object in civilization, and to my mind the greatest confession of its failure, is the man who can work, who wants work, and who is not allowed to work.
Robert Louis Stevenson
