Amos Bronson Alcott
Good discourse sinks differences and seeks agreements.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Ignorance is innocence - stupidity comes with experience
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

Amos Bronson Alcott
A government, for protecting business only, is but a carcass, and soon falls by its own corruption and decay.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Thought means life, since those who do not think so do not live in any high or real sense. Thinking makes the man.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The wisest and best are repulsive, if they are characterized by repulsive manners. Politeness is an easy virtue, costs little, and has great purchasing power.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A candid spirit is mightier than the most persistent dogmatism.
Amos Bronson Alcott
I find my past in my present, and from these forecast my future.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Easy come, easy go... Achieve-everything-while-doing-nothing schemes don't work, they are just not logical
Amos Bronson Alcott
One must be a wise reader to quote wisely and well.
