More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
The passions refuse to be organized on a basis of their own hostile to personal freedom and one another, they rush precipitately into anarchy and mob rule.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A check on itself, evil subserves the economies of good, as it were a condiment to give relish to good.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Pity the mother who assumes the name without being all this implies!
Amos Bronson Alcott
One's outlook is a part of his virtue.
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
Anger is the resentment of the animal, and gentle blood alone makes the gentleman.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A work of real merit finds favor at last.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Modesty is bred of self-reverence. Fine manners are the mantle of fair minds.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A candid spirit is mightier than the most persistent dogmatism.
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

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
Labor humanizes, exalts.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The wisest and best are repulsive, if they are characterized by repulsive manners. Politeness is an easy virtue, costs little, and has great purchasing power.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Would Shakespeare and Raleigh have done their best, would that galaxy have shone so bright in the heavens had there been no Elizabeth on the throne?
Amos Bronson Alcott
All unrest is but the struggle of the soul to reassure herself of her inborn immortality.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Man is a living lie--a bitter jest Upon himself--a conscious grain of sand Lost in a desert of unconsciousness.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Without a mythology, faith is impersonal and heartless.
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
One does not see his thought distinctly till it is reflected in the image of another's.
Amos Bronson Alcott
