More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
Good-humor, gay spirits, are the liberators, the sure cure for spleen and melancholy. Deeper than tears, these irradiate the tophets with their glad heavens. Go laugh, vent the pits, transmuting imps into angels by the alchemy of smiles. The satans flee at the sight of these redeemers.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The richest minds need not large libraries.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Civilization degrades the many to exalt the few.
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
One's outlook is a part of his virtue.
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
Where women are, the better things are implied if not spoken.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Who loves a garden still his Eden keeps.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Every dogma embodies some shade of truth to give it seeming currency.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Ideas first and last: yet it is not till these are formulated and utilized that the devotees of the common sense discern their value and advantages. The idealist is the capitalist on whose resources multitudes are maintained life long. Ideas in the head set hands about their several tasks, thus carrying forward all human endeavors to their issues.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A candid spirit is mightier than the most persistent dogmatism.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Modesty is bred of self-reverence. Fine manners are the mantle of fair minds.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Every noble life becomes a revelation of the spirit which the love and joy of mankind cannot let perish from remembrance.
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.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A state, a community, caring first for all its children, providing amply for their spiritual as for their temporal well-being, has organized the primitive Eden.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Enthusiasm imparts itself magnetically and fuses all into one happy and harmonious unity of feeling and sentiment.
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
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
Every sin provokes its punishment.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The more one endeavors to sound the depths of his ignorance the deeper the chasm appears.
Amos Bronson Alcott
