More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
Friendship is a plant that loves the sun, thrives ill under clouds.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott

Modesty is bred of self-reverence. Fine manners are the mantle of fair minds. None are truly great without this ornament.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
A candid spirit is mightier than the most persistent dogmatism.
Amos Bronson Alcott
An author who sets his reader on sounding the depths of his own thoughts serves him best.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Plans made in the nursery Can change the course of history
Amos Bronson Alcott
Our favorites are few since only what rises from the heart reaches it, being caught and carried on the tongues of men wheresoever love and letters journey.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Genius--the free and harmonious play of all the faculties of a human being.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Opposition strengthens the manly will.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Debate is angular, conversation circular and radiant of the underlying unity.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The best teachers don't allow their own personal views to influence their teaching.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Despair snuffs the sun from the firmament.
