The true wisdom is to be always seasonable, and to change with a good grace in changing circumstances.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

The cruelest lies are often t...

The cruelest lies are often told in silence. A man may have sat in a room for hours and not opened his teeth, and yet come out of that room a disloyal friend or a vile calumniator.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Live life to the fullest. ...

Live life to the fullest.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

The most influential books, a...

The most influential books, and the truest in their influence, are works of fiction. They repeat, they re-arrange, they clarify the lessons of life; they disengage us from ourselves, they constrain us to the acquaintance of others; and they show us the web of experience, but with a singular change-that monstrous, consuming ego of ours being, nonce, struck out.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

and he began to understand what a wild game we play in life; he began to understand that a thing once done cannot be undone nor changed by saying "I am sorry!

The San Francisco Stock Exchange was the place that continuously pumped up the savings of the lower classes into the pockets of the millionaires.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

To the old our mouths are alw...

To the old our mouths are always partly closed; we must swallow our obvious retorts and listen. They sit above our heads, on life's raised dais, and appeal at once to our respect and pity.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Happiness, eternal or tempora...

Happiness, eternal or temporal, is not the reward that mankind seeks, Happinesses are but his wayside companions. His soul is in the journey and in the struggle.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

For will anyone dare to tell me that business is more entertaining than fooling among boats? He must have never seen a boat, or never seen an office, who says so.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

We were to found a University...

We were to found a University magazine. A pair of little, active brothers-Livingstone by name, great skippers on the foot, great rubbers of the hands, who kept a book-shop over against the University building-had been debauched to play the part of publishers. We four were to be conjuct editors and, what was the main point of the concern, to print our own works; while, by every rule of arithmetic-that flatterer of credulity-the adventure must succeed and bring great profit. Well, well: it was a bright vision.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

If a man lives to any conside...

If a man lives to any considerable age, it can not be denied that he laments his imprudences, but I notice he often laments his youth a deal more bitterly and with a more genuine intonation.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Bright is the ring of words W...

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 555 quotes

If a man knows he will sooner...

If a man knows he will sooner or later be robbed upon a journey, he will have a bottle of the best in every inn, and look upon all his extravagances as so much gained upon the thieves.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

With every day, and from both...

With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer to the truth, by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one, but truly two.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

You mightn't happen to have a...

You mightn't happen to have a piece of cheese about you, now? No? Well, many's the long night I've dreamed of cheese-toasted, mostly-and woke up again, and here I were.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

I learned to recognise the thorough and primitive duality of man; I saw that, of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness, even if I could rightly be said to be either, it was only because I was radically both.

Extreme busyness, whether at school or college, kirk or market, is a symptom of deficient vitality.

For God's sake give me the young man who has brains enough to make a fool of himself!

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Anyone can carry his burden, ...

Anyone can carry his burden, however heavy, until nightfall. Anyone can do his work, however hard, for one day. Anyone can live sweetly, patiently, lovingly, purely, until the sun goes down. And this is all that life really means.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

And if a man reads very hard,...

And if a man reads very hard, as the old anecdote reminds us, he will have little time for thought.
