More quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
"The man is a success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had."
"You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving."
"We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend."
"A friend is a gift you give yourself."
"Do not measure success by today's harvest. Measure success by the seeds you plant today."
