The words below were written in Ruth's hand at the back of her 1944 diary. According to Wikepedia - the words arecredited to Stephen Grellet. However Aunt Ruth wrote R.L.S below the poem - so I wonder if she believed it was attributed to Robert Louis Stevenson. When I read these for the first time they struck me as being the words by which Aunt Ruth lived!
I shall pass through this world but once.
Any good thing therefore I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now, let me not defer it or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.
