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

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 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

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

For will anyone dare to tell ...

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

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

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

Really don't choose every day...

Really don't choose every day from the harvest you experience but from the seeds you plant

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Fifteen men on the Dead Man's...

Fifteen men on the Dead Man's Chest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

The little rift between the s...

The little rift between the sexes is astonishingly widened by simply teaching one set of catchwords to the girls and another to the boys.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

A horrible sense of blackness...

A horrible sense of blackness and the treachery of fate seized hold upon the soul of the unhappy student.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Go, little book, and wish to ...

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 555 quotes

Every book is, in an intimate...

Every book is, in an intimate sense, a circular-letter to the friends of him who writes it.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

I have done my fiddling so lo...

I have done my fiddling so long under Vesuvius that I have almost forgotten to play, and can only wait for the eruption and think it long of coming. Literally no man has more wholly outlived life than I. And still it's good fun.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

If this is death, it is easier than life.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Sing a song of seasons; something bright in all, flowers in the summer, fires in the fall.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

I have seen wicked men and fools, a great many of both; and I believe they both get paid in the end; but the fools first.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Benjamin Franklin went throug...

Benjamin Franklin went through life an altered man because he once paid too dearly for a penny whistle. My concern springs usually from a deeper source, to wit, from having bought a whistle when I did not want one.

Children are certainly too good to be true.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

All I dreamed about Dr. Jekyl...

All I dreamed about Dr. Jekyll was that one man was being pressed into a cabinet, when he swallowed a drug and changed into another being. I awoke and said at once that I had found the missing link for which I had been looking so long, and before I went again to sleep almost every detail of the story, as it stands, was clear to me. Of course, writing it was another thing.
