More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
Divination seems heightened and raised to its highest power in woman.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.
Amos Bronson Alcott

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
Our bravest and best lessons are not learned through success, but through misadventure.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Time is one's best friend, teaching best of all the wisdom of silence.
Amos Bronson Alcott
There is virtue in country houses, in gardens and orchards, in fields, streams and groves, in rustic recreations and plain manners, that neither cities nor universities enjoy.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Opposition strengthens the manly will.
Amos Bronson Alcott
One's life should be sufficiently interesting to furnish entertainment in the record.
