More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
Friendship is a plant that loves the sun, thrives ill under clouds.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A candid spirit is mightier than the most persistent dogmatism.
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
Man must have some recognized stake in society and affairs to knit him lovingly to his kind, or he is wont to revenge himself for wrongs real or imagined.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Egotists cannot converse, they talk to themselves only.
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
There are truths that shield themselves behind veils, and are best spoken by implication. Even the sun veils himself in his own rays to blind the gaze of the too curious starer.
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

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

Amos Bronson Alcott
Nature is thought immersed in matter. . .
Amos Bronson Alcott
Memory marks the horizon of our consciousness, imagination its zenith.
Amos Bronson Alcott
What higher praise can we bestow on any one than to say of him that he harbors another's prejudices with a hospitality so cordial as to give him, for the time, the sympathy next best to, if indeed it be not edification in, charity itself. For what disturbs more and distracts mankind than the uncivil manners that cleave man from man?
Amos Bronson Alcott
Yet the deepest truths are best read between the lines, and, for the most part, refuse to be written.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Books are the most mannerly of companions, accessible at all times, in all moods, frankly declaring the author's mind, without offense.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Education may work wonders as well in warping the genius of individuals as in seconding it.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The richest minds need not large libraries.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Every sin provokes its punishment.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Who knows, the mind has the key to all things besides.
Amos Bronson Alcott
