13th November: Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson was born on this date in 1850. Here are 10 quotes:


  1. No man is useless while he has a friend.
  2. Wine is bottled poetry.
  3. Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.
  4. Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.
  5. You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.
  6. Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.
  7. The cruellest lies are often told in silence.
  8. You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.
  9. I am in the habit of looking not so much to the nature of a gift as to the spirit in which it is offered.
  10. If your morals make you dreary, depend on it, they are wrong.
