Amos Bronson Alcott
Debate is angular, conversation circular and radiant of the underlying unity.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
Good-humor, gay spirits, are the liberators, the sure cure for spleen and melancholy. Deeper than tears, these irradiate the tophets with their glad heavens. Go laugh, vent the pits, transmuting imps into angels by the alchemy of smiles. The satans flee at the sight of these redeemers.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
Modesty is bred of self-reverence. Fine manners are the mantle of fair minds.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Man is a living lie--a bitter jest Upon himself--a conscious grain of sand Lost in a desert of unconsciousness.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Yet the deepest truths are best read between the lines, and, for the most part, refuse to be written.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Fullness is always quiet agitation will answer for empty vessels only.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Education may work wonders as well in warping the genius of individuals as in seconding it.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Conversation is an abandonment to ideas, a surrender to persons.
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
