Amos Bronson Alcott
Man must have some recognized stake in society and affairs to knit him lovingly to his kind, or he is wont to revenge himself for wrongs real or imagined.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Time ripens the substance of a life as the seasons mellow and perfect its fruits. The best apples fall latest and keep longest.
Amos Bronson Alcott
None can teach admirably if not loving his task.
Amos Bronson Alcott
I consider it the best part of an education to have been born and brought up in the country.
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.
