More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
Nor do we accept, as genuine the person not characterized by this blushing bashfulness, this youthfulness of heart, this sensibility to the sentiment of suavity and self-respect.

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
One must be rich in thought and character to owe nothing to books, though preparation is necessary to profitable reading and the less reading is better than more--book-struck men are of all readers least wise, however knowing or learned.
