More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.
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
Since hate poisons the soul, don't cherish enmities or grudges: avoid people who make you unhappy.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
And this shall be for music when no one else is near, The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear! That only I remember, that only you admire, Of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The essence of love is kindness.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson
To avoid an occasion for our virtues is a worse degree of failure than to push forward pluckily and make a fall.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Go, little book, and wish to all Flowers in the garden, meat in the hall, A bin of wine, a spice of wit, A house with lawns enclosing it, A living river by the door, A nightingale in the sycamore!
Robert Louis Stevenson
You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.
Robert Louis Stevenson
We do not go to cowards for tender dealing there is nothing so cruel as panic the man who has least fear for his own carcase, has most time to consider others.
Robert Louis Stevenson
There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets come last.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Every child can remember laying his head in the grass, staring into the infinitesimal forest and seeing it grow populous with fairy armies.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I incline to Cain's heresy, he used to say quaintly: I let my brother go to the devil in his own way.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Bright is the ring of words When the right man rings them.
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
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.
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
No human being ever spoke of scenery for above two minutes at a time, which makes me suspect that we hear too much of it in literature.
Robert Louis Stevenson
