An aim in life is the only for...

An aim in life is the only fortune worth the finding; and it is not to be found in foreign lands, but in the heart itself.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

I would rather do a good hours...

I would rather do a good hours work weeding than write two pages of my best; nothing is so interesting as weeding. I went crazy over the outdoor work, and at last had to confine myself to the house, or literature must have gone by the board.

Saints are sinners who kept on...

Saints are sinners who kept on going.

I lived on rum, I tell you. It's been meat and drink, and man and wife, to me.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

All sorts of allowances are ma...

All sorts of allowances are made for the illusions of youth, and none, or almost none for the disenchantment of age.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

In anything fit to be called b...

In anything fit to be called by the name of reading, the process itself should be absorbing and voluptuous; we should gloat over a book, be rapt clean out of ourselves.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

It is the property of things s...

It is the property of things seen for the first time, or for the first time after long, like the flowers in spring, to reawaken in us the sharp edge of sense and that impression of mystic strangeness which otherwise passes out of life with the coming of years; but the sight of a loved face is what renews a man's character from the fountain upwards.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Death is given in a kiss; the ...

Death is given in a kiss; the dearest kindnesses are fatal; and into this life, where one thing preys upon another, the child too often makes its entrance from the mother's corpse.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

To make our morality center on...

To make our morality center on forbidden acts is to defile the imagination and to introduce into our judgments of our fellow men a secret element of gusto.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

If your morals make you dreary...

If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong. I do not say 'give them up,' for they may be all you have; but conceal them like a vice, lest they should spoil the lives of better and simpler people.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

All error, not merely verbal, ...

All error, not merely verbal, is a strong way of stating that the current truth is incomplete.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

To avoid an occasion for our v...

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 555 quotes

I hazard the guess that man wi...

I hazard the guess that man will be ultimately known for a mere polity of multifarious, incongruous, and independent denizens.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Keep busy at something: a busy...

Keep busy at something: a busy person never has time to be unhappy.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Since hate poisons the soul, don't cherish enmities or grudges: avoid people who make you unhappy.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Sing a song of seasons; someth...

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

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

We look for some reward of our...

We look for some reward of our endeavors and are disappointed that not success, not happiness, not even peace of conscience, crowns our ineffectual efforts to do well. Our frailties are invincible, our virtues barren; the battle goes sore against us to the going down of the sun.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

For the forest takes away from...

For the forest takes away from you all excuse to die. There is nothing here to cabin or thwart your free desires. Here all impudences of the brawling world reach you no more.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Strange indeed is the attracti...

Strange indeed is the attraction of the forest for the minds of men.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

It is better to emit a scream ...

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.
