Stevenson, Robert Louis (Robert Louis Stevenson)

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilization, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.
-- Robert Louis Stevenson

We are all travelers in the wilderness of the world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.
-- Robert Louis Stevenson

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.

If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it, they are wrong. I do not say give them up, for they may be all you have, but conceal them like a vice lest they spoil the lives of better and simpler people.
-- Robert Louis Stevenson

A man should stop his ears against paralyzing terror, and run the race that is set before him with a single mind.
-- Robert Louis Stevenson

Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail, in good spirits.
-- Robert Louis Stevenson

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.
-- Robert Louis Stevenson

A man must not deny his manifest abilities, for that is to evade his obligations.
