More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott

Modesty is bred of self-reverence. Fine manners are the mantle of fair minds.
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.

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
The mind is fast emancipating itself from the dominion of man and of matter. It has let loose fearful forces on the world.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Thought means life, since those who do not think so do not live in any high or real sense. Thinking makes the man.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Good discourse sinks differences and seeks agreements.
Amos Bronson Alcott
I find my past in my present, and from these forecast my future.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Civilization degrades many in order to exalt the few.
