More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
Friends are the leaders of the bosom, being more ourselves than we are, and we complement our affections in theirs.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The passions refuse to be organized on a basis of their own hostile to personal freedom and one another, they rush precipitately into anarchy and mob rule.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Wherever comes man comes tragedy and comedy also.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Time is one's best friend, teaching best of all the wisdom of silence.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Education may work wonders as well in warping the genius of individuals as in seconding it.
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.

Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
One must be rich in thought and character to owe nothing to books.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Our notion of the perfect society embraces the family as its center and ornament, and this paradise is not secure until children appear to animate and complete the picture.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Life is one, religion one, creeds are many and diverse.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Pity the mother who assumes the name without being all this implies!
Amos Bronson Alcott
Sloth is the tempter that beguiles and expels from paradise.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Labor humanizes, exalts.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Friendship is a plant that loves the sun, thrives ill under clouds.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Truth is inclusive of all the virtues, is older than sects and schools, and, like charity, more ancient than mankind.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Whatsoever stirs the stagnant currents, setting these flowing in wholesome directions, promotes brisk spirits and productive thinking. The less of routine, the more of life.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Enthusiasm is essential to the successful attainment of any high endeavor.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The eyes have a property in things and territories not named in any title-deeds, and are the owners of our choicest possessions.
Amos Bronson Alcott
As education becomes inclusive, introspective, cosmic, promoting whole populations to power and privilege, it enthrones a vast, invisible, personal rule over the common mind.
Amos Bronson Alcott
