Robert Louis Stevenson

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

Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.

Of what shall a man be proud, if he is not proud of his friends?

You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.

There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it behooves all of us not to talk about the rest of us.
- All from Robert Louis Stevenson, 1850 - 1894

About: Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson was born at Edinburgh, Scotland on 13 November in 1850. Expecting to follow in his fathers footsteps as an engineer, he went to the University of Edinburgh, but poor health caused him to switch to law. He was admitted to the bar as an advocate at age 25, but had already decided to become a writer. Somewhere he changed the Lewis to Louis. His stories of travel and adventure were gems.
