"Books are good enough in their own way, but they are a poor substitute for life." ― Robert Louis Stevenson Topic(s): Good More From Robert Louis Stevenson "Marriage is like life – it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses." "Talk is by far the most accessible of pleasures. It costs nothing in money, it is all profit, it completes our education, founds and fosters our friendships, and can be enjoyed at any age and in almost any state of health." "I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move." More In Good "I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, ‘Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.’"― Jim Carrey "The opportunity for doing mischief is found a hundred times a day, and of doing good once in a year."― Voltaire "Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue."― Buddha
