More quotes by 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.

Amos Bronson Alcott
Life is one, religion one, creeds are many and diverse.
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
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 birthday is a good time to begin a new throwing away the old habits, as you would old clothes, and never putting them again.
Amos Bronson Alcott
One must espouse some pursuit, taking it kindly at heart and with enthusiasm.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Truth is sensitive and jealous of the least encroachment upon its sacredness.
