More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
One's outlook is a part of his virtue.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Ignorance is innocence - stupidity comes with experience
Amos Bronson Alcott
Who loves a garden, still his Eden keeps, Perennial pleasures plants, and wholesome harvests reaps.
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
Where there is a mother in the home, matters go well.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Ideas in the head set hands about their several tasks.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Genius has oftenest been the pariah of his time, the unhoused god whom none cared for, unnamed till they whom he first promoted, enriched and honored, found it honorable to own their benefactor.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Truth is sensitive and jealous of the least encroachment upon its sacredness.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A sip is the most than mortals are permitted from any goblet of delight.
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
Plans made in the nursery Can change the course of history
Amos Bronson Alcott
A work of real merit finds favor at last.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Dignity of manner always conveys a sense of reserved force.
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
Who knows, the mind has the key to all things besides.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Anger is the resentment of the animal, and gentle blood alone makes the gentleman.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Truth is inclusive of all the virtues, is older than sects and schools, and, like charity, more ancient than mankind.
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
Memory marks the horizon of our consciousness, imagination its zenith.
Amos Bronson Alcott
There is virtue in country houses, in gardens and orchards, in fields, streams and groves, in rustic recreations and plain manners, that neither cities nor universities enjoy.
Amos Bronson Alcott
