Robert Louis Stevenson on consequences

[snopes]

Comment: I use this RLS Quote as my signature

Everybody, soon or late, sits down to a banquet of consequences.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

elsewhere it is quoted in varying ways as above
Someone told me and showed where it is actually said by RLS

It is my understanding that that particular phrase has never been printed
in any of his works. It is commonly linked to a statement in his essay Old
Mortality: "Books were the proper remedy: books of vivid human import,
forcing upon their minds the issues, pleasures, busyness, importance and
immediacy of that life in which they stand; books of smiling or heroic
temper, to excite or to console; books of a large design, shadowing the
complexity of that game of consequences to which we all sit down, the
hanger-back not least.”

I am HAPPY using what i found in a quote place as my signature and will
continue to do so
Can you please check, i am sure a few people have given there own take on
what he actually said
