Robert Louis Stevenson quote: "The less I understood of this farrago, the less I was in a..."
The less I understood of this farrago, the less I was in a position to judge of its importance. Robert Louis Stevenson
In each of us, two natures are at war? the good and the evil. All our lives the fight goes on between them, and one of them must conquer. But in our own hands lies the power to choose? what we want most to be we are. Robert Louis Stevenson
You can forgive people who do not follow you through a philosophical disquisition; but to find your wife laughing when you had tears in your eyes, or staring when you were in a fit of laughter, would go some way towards a dissolution of the marriage. Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson quote: "I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's..."
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move. Robert Louis Stevenson
It was not very long after this that there occurred the first of the mysterious events that rid us at last of the captain, though not, as you will see, of his affairs. It was a bitter cold winter, with long, hard frosts and heavy gales; and it was plain from the first that my poor father was little likely to see the spring. He sank daily, and my mother and I had all the inn upon our hands, and were kept busy enough without paying much regard to our unpleasant guest. Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson quote: "The most beautiful adventures are not those we go to seek."
The most beautiful adventures are not those we go to seek. Robert Louis Stevenson
I will make you brooches and toys for your delight. Of bird-song at morning and star-shine at night. I will make a palace fit for you and me. Of green days in forests and blue days at sea. Robert Louis Stevenson
The Flowers. All the names I know from nurse: Gardener's garters, Shepherd's purse, Bachelor's buttons, Lady's smock, And the Lady Hollyhock. Fairy places, fairy things, Fairy woods where the wild bee wings, Tiny trees for tiny dames--These must all be fairy names! Tiny woods below whose boughs. Shady fairies weave a house; Tiny tree-tops, rose or thyme, Where the braver fairies climb! Fair are grown-up people's trees, But the fairest woods are these; Where, if I were not so tall, I should... Robert Louis Stevenson
But the truth of his teaching would seem to be this: in our own person and fortune, we should be ready to accept and to pardon all; it is our cheek we are to turn, our coat that we are to give away to the man who has taken our cloak. But when another's face is buffeted, perhaps a little of the lion will become us best. That we are to suffer others to be injured, and stand by, is not conceivable and surely not desirable. Robert Louis Stevenson

To travel hopefully is better than to have arrived. Robert Louis Stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson quote: "To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive."
To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive. Robert Louis Stevenson
The dismal quarter of Soho seen under these changing glimpses, with its muddy ways, and slatternly passengers, and its lamps, which had never been extinguished or had been kindled afresh to combat this mournful re-invasion of darkness, seemed, in the lawyer's eyes, like a district of some city in a nightmare. (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) Robert Louis Stevenson
Who's the best shot?" asked the captain. Mr. Trelawney, out and away," said I. Mr. Trelawney, will you please pick me off one of these men, sir? [Israel]Hands, if possible. Robert Louis Stevenson
The day returns and brings us the petty round of irritating concerns and duties. Help us to play the man, Help us to perform them with laughter and kind faces, Let cheerfulness abound with industry. Give us to go blithely on our business all this day, Bring us to our resting beds weary and content and undishonoured, And grant us in the end the gift of sleep. Robert Louis Stevenson
When I am grown to man's estate I shall be very proud and great. And tell the other girls and boys Not to meddle with my toys. Robert Louis Stevenson
