Debate is angular, conversation circular and radiant of the underlying unity.
Amos Bronson Alcott
My favorite books have a personality and complexion as distinctly drawn as if the author's portrait were framed into the paragraphs and smiled upon me as I read his illustrated pages.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The best teachers don't allow their own personal views to influence their teaching.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Pity the mother who assumes the name without being all this implies!
