More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
Nor do we accept, as genuine the person not characterized by this blushing bashfulness, this youthfulness of heart, this sensibility to the sentiment of suavity and self-respect. Modesty is bred of self-reverence. Fine manners are the mantle of fair minds. None are truly great without this ornament.
Amos Bronson Alcott

The eyes have a property in things and territories not named in any title-deeds, and are the owners of our choicest possessions.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The books that charmed us in youth recall the delight ever afterwards we are hardly persuaded there are any like them, any deserving our equal affections.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Every noble life becomes a revelation of the spirit which the love and joy of mankind cannot let perish from remembrance.
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
Devotees of grammatical studies have not been distinguished for any very remarkable felicities of expression
Amos Bronson Alcott
To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.
