More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
Your real influence is measured by your treatment of yourself.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Our favorites are few since only what rises from the heart reaches it, being caught and carried on the tongues of men wheresoever love and letters journey.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Of books in our time the variety is so voluminous, and they follow so fast from the press, that one must be a swift reader to acquaint himself even with their titles, and wise to discern what are worth reading.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Ideas in the head set hands about their several tasks.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Love is the key to felicity, nor is there a heaven to any who love not. We enter Paradise through its gates only.
Amos Bronson Alcott
I consider it the best part of an education to have been born and brought up in the country.
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
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
Memory marks the horizon of our consciousness, imagination its zenith.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Enthusiasm imparts itself magnetically and fuses all into one happy and harmonious unity of feeling and sentiment.
Amos Bronson Alcott
I find my past in my present, and from these forecast my future.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Good-humor, gay spirits, are the liberators, the sure cure for spleen and melancholy. Deeper than tears, these irradiate the tophets with their glad heavens. Go laugh, vent the pits, transmuting imps into angels by the alchemy of smiles. The satans flee at the sight of these redeemers.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Life is one, religion one, creeds are many and diverse.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A government, for protecting business only, is but a carcass, and soon falls by its own corruption and decay.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The less routine the more life.
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
If the ancients left us ideas, to our credit be it spoken that we moderns are building houses for them -- structures which neither Plato nor Archimedes had dreamed possible.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Opposition strengthens the manly will.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Debate is masculine, conversation is feminine.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Easy come, easy go... Achieve-everything-while-doing-nothing schemes don't work, they are just not logical
Amos Bronson Alcott
