Robert Louis Stevenson Quotes

"You cannot divide the living from the dead.""Doubt of any sort cannot be removed except by action.""You can kill the body but not the spirit.""Everyone lives by selling something.""Keep your eyes open to your mercies. The man who forgets to be thankful has fallen asleep in life.""We must do our work for its own sake, not for fortune or attention.""In each of us, two natures are at war – the good and the evil.""Absences are a good influence in love and keep it bright and delicate""There is no foreign land; it is the traveler only that is foreign""The body is a house of many windows: there we all sit, showing ourselves and crying on the passers-by to come and love us""To forget oneself is to be happy""Everybody, soon or late, sits down to a banquet of consequences""You cannot run away from a weakness; you must sometimes fight it out or perish""To love is the great amulet that makes this world a garden""There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign""The saints are the sinners who keep on trying""It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit""Sit loosely in the saddle of life""Our purpose in life is to add value to the people of this generation and those that follow""Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened, but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm"
