More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
Who loves a garden still his Eden keeps.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
Genius has oftenest been the pariah of his time, the unhoused god whom none cared for, unnamed till they whom he first promoted, enriched and honored, found it honorable to own their benefactor.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A friendship formed in childhood, in youth,--by happy accident at any stage of rising manhood,--becomes the genius that rules the rest of life.
