More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
Despair snuffs the sun from the firmament.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Inspiration must find answering inspiration.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The best teachers don't allow their own personal views to influence their teaching.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Love is the key to felicity, nor is there a heaven to any who love not. We enter Paradise through its gates only.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Devotees of grammatical studies have not been distinguished for any very remarkable felicities of expression
Amos Bronson Alcott
The fable runs that the gods mix our pains and pleasure in one cup, and thus mingle for us the adulterate immortality which we alone are permitted here to enjoy. Voluptuous raptures, could we prolong these at pleasure, would dissipate and dissolve us. A sip is the most that mortals are permitted from any goblet of delight.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Heaven trims our lamps while we sleep.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Who loves a garden still his Eden keeps.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A check on itself, evil subserves the economies of good, as it were a condiment to give relish to good.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Every sin provokes its punishment.
Amos Bronson Alcott
If the ancients left us ideas, to our credit be it spoken that we moderns are building houses for them -- structures which neither Plato nor Archimedes had dreamed possible.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Nor is a day lived if the dawn is left out of it, with the prospects it opens. Who speaks charmingly of nature or of mankind, like him who comes bibulous of sunrise and the fountains of waters?
Amos Bronson Alcott
I consider it the best part of an education to have been born and brought up in the country.
