More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
Time ripens the substance of a life as the seasons mellow and perfect its fruits. The best apples fall latest and keep longest.
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
Heaven trims our lamps while we sleep.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The head best leaves to the heart what the heart alone divines.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Where there is a mother in the home, matters go well.
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
Wherever comes man comes tragedy and comedy also.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Labor humanizes, exalts.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Devotees of grammatical studies have not been distinguished for any very remarkable felicities of expression
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
Inspiration must find answering inspiration.
Amos Bronson Alcott
I find my past in my present, and from these forecast my future.
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
Civilization degrades many in order to exalt the few.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Traveling is no fool's errand to him who carries his eyes and itinerary along with him.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Easy come, easy go... Achieve-everything-while-doing-nothing schemes don't work, they are just not logical
Amos Bronson Alcott
Many are those who can argue few are those who can converse
Amos Bronson Alcott
One's life should be sufficiently interesting to furnish entertainment in the record.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Nature is the armory of genius. Cities serve it poorly, books and colleges at second hand the eye craves the spectacle of the horizon of mountain, ocean, river and plain, the clouds and stars actual contact with the elements, sympathy with the seasons as they rise and roll.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Anger is the resentment of the animal, and gentle blood alone makes the gentleman.
