More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
One must be rich in thought and character to owe nothing to books.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Traveling is no fool's errand to him who carries his eyes and itinerary along with him.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The fable runs that the gods mix our pains and pleasure in one cup, and thus mingle for us the adulterate immortality which we alone are permitted here to enjoy. Voluptuous raptures, could we prolong these at pleasure, would dissipate and dissolve us. A sip is the most that mortals are permitted from any goblet of delight.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Easy come, easy go... Achieve-everything-while-doing-nothing schemes don't work, they are just not logical
Amos Bronson Alcott
The traveled mind is the catholic mind educated from exclusiveness and egotism.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
Travel makes all men countrymen, makes people noblemen and kings, every man tasting of liberty and dominion.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Our dreams drench us in senses, and senses steps us again in dreams.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Would Shakespeare and Raleigh have done their best, would that galaxy have shone so bright in the heavens had there been no Elizabeth on the throne?
Amos Bronson Alcott
A friendship formed in childhood, in youth,--by happy accident at any stage of rising manhood,--becomes the genius that rules the rest of life.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Hold fast, therefore, O circular philosopher, to thy centre, and drive the globe along its orbit by the momentum of thy thought.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Ignorance is innocence - stupidity comes with experience
Amos Bronson Alcott
Enthusiasm imparts itself magnetically and fuses all into one happy and harmonious unity of feeling and sentiment.
Amos Bronson Alcott
