Robert Louis Stevenson
"There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world."
Quote_1.png
Robert Louis Stevenson
"To be honest, to be kind - to earn a little and to spend a little less, to make upon the whole a family happier for his presence, to renounce when that shall be necessary and not be embittered, to keep a few friends but these without capitulation - above all, on the same grim condition, to keep friends with himself - here is a task for all that a man has of fortitude and delicacy. He has an ambitious soul who would ask more; he has a hopeful spirit who should look in such an enterprise to be successful."
Quote_1.png
Robert Louis Stevenson
"The most racking pangs succeeded: a grinding in the bones, deadly nausea, and a horror of the spirit that cannot be exceeded at the hour of birth or death. Then these agonies began swiftly to subside, and I came to myself as if out of a great sickness. There was something strange in my sensations, something indescribably sweet. I felt younger, lighter, happier in body; within I was conscious of a heady recklessness, a current of disordered sensual images running like a millrace in my fancy, a solution of the bonds of obligation, an unknown but innocent freedom of the soul. I knew myself, at the first breath of this new life, to be more wicked, tenfold more wicked, sold a slave to my original evil and the thought, in that moment, braced and delighted me like wine."

Quote_1.png
Robert Louis Stevenson
"So long as we love we serve; so long as we are loved by others, I would almost say that we are indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend."

"There is but one art to omit."
Quote_1.png
Robert Louis Stevenson
"There are two things that men should never weary of, goodness and humility; we get none too much of them in this rough world among cold, proud people."
Quote_1.png
Robert Louis Stevenson
"Ah sorts of allowances are made for the illusions of youth and none or almost none for the disenchantments of age."
Quote_1.png
Robert Louis Stevenson
"A man finds he has been wrong at every stage of his career only to deduce the astonishing conclusion that he is at last entirely right."
