More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
Fullness is always quiet agitation will answer for empty vessels only.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Easy come, easy go... Achieve-everything-while-doing-nothing schemes don't work, they are just not logical
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
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
Dignity of manner always conveys a sense of reserved force.
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

Amos Bronson Alcott
Creeds, like other goods, pass by inheritance to descendants.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
Friendship is a plant that loves the sun, thrives ill under clouds.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Who knows, the mind has the key to all things besides.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
Books are the most mannerly of companions, accessible at all times, in all moods, frankly declaring the author's mind, without offense.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A candid spirit is mightier than the most persistent dogmatism.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Wherever comes man comes tragedy and comedy also.
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
Despair snuffs the sun from the firmament.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Our notion of the perfect society embraces the family as its center and ornament, and this paradise is not secure until children appear to animate and complete the picture.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Modesty is bred of self-reverence. Fine manners are the mantle of fair minds.
Amos Bronson Alcott
One must be a wise reader to quote wisely and well.
