Robert Louis Stevenson Quotes

"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""Every heart that has beat strongly and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind""The mark of a good action is that it appears inevitable in retrospect""You think those dogs will not be in heaven I tell you they will be there long before any of us""To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive""Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits""Compromise is the best and cheapest lawyer"
