Be what you are, and become what you are capable of becoming.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Make up your mind to be happy...

Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

When the teeth are shut the tongue is at home.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

To hold the same views at for...

To hold the same views at forty as we held at twenty is to have been stupefied for a score of years, and take rank, not as a prophet, but as an unteachable brat, well birched and none the wiser. It is as if a ship captain should sail to India from the Port of London; and having brought a chart of the Thames on deck at his first setting out, should obstinately use no other for the whole voyage.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Friends: People who know you ...

Friends: People who know you well, but like you anyway.
The cruelest lies are often told in silence.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

In the other gardens
And all...

In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfies
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
the grey smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all,
Flowers in the summer
Fires in the fall!

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

It is one of the worst things...

It is one of the worst things of sentiment that the voice grows to be more important than the words, and the speaker than that what is spoken.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Some places speak distinctly....

Some places speak distinctly. Certain dark gardens cry aloud for a murder; certain old houses demand to be haunted; certain coasts are set apart for shipwreck.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

It takes hard writing to make...

It takes hard writing to make easy reading.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

A knowledge that another has ...

A knowledge that another has felt as we have felt, and seen things not much otherwise than we have seen them, will continue to the end to be one of life's choicest blessings.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Wherever we are, it is but a ...

Wherever we are, it is but a stage on the way to somewhere else, and whatever we do, however well we do it, it is only a preparation to do something else that shall be different.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

An aspiration is a joy foreve...

An aspiration is a joy forever, a possession as solid as a landed estate.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Live life to the fullest. ...

Live life to the fullest.

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

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

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

Being happy enables you to be...

Being happy enables you to be free from domination by the outside world.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

He is not dead, this friend; ...

He is not dead, this friend; not dead, Gone some few, trifling steps ahead, And nearer to the end; So that you, too, once past the bend, Shall meet again, as face to face, this friend You fancy dead.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

I had learned to dwell with p...

I had learned to dwell with pleasure as a beloved daydream on the thought of the separation of these elements. If each I told myself could be housed in separate identities life would be relieved of all that was unbearable the unjust might go his way delivered from the aspirations and remorse of his more upright twin and the just could walk steadfastly and securely on his upward path doing the good things in which he found his pleasure and no longer exposed to disgrace and penitence by the hands of this extraneous evil.

Robert Louis Stevenson 555 quotes

The saddest object in civiliz...

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 555 quotes

You seem to me to be a pretty...

You seem to me to be a pretty lucky young man; keep your eyes open to your mercies. That part of piety is eternal; and the man who forgets to be grateful has fallen asleep in life.
