More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
Every sin provokes its punishment.
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
Many can argue - not many converse.
Amos Bronson Alcott
To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
Thought means life, since those who do not think so do not live in any high or real sense. Thinking makes the man.
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

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
Debate is angular, conversation circular and radiant of the underlying unity.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A candid spirit is mightier than the most persistent dogmatism.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Our favorites are few since only what rises from the heart reaches it, being caught and carried on the tongues of men wheresoever love and letters journey.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Time is one's best friend, teaching best of all the wisdom of silence.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A good book is fruitful of other books it perpetuates its fame from age to age, and makes eras in the lives of its readers.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A true teacher defends his students against his own personal influences.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Where women are, the better things are implied if not spoken.
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
