More quotes by 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
No one is promiscuous in his way of dying. A man who has decided to hang himself will never jump in front of a train.
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
Hold fast, therefore, O circular philosopher, to thy centre, and drive the globe along its orbit by the momentum of thy thought.
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
Civilization degrades many in order to exalt the few.
Amos Bronson Alcott
One must be rich in thought and character to owe nothing to books, though preparation is necessary to profitable reading and the less reading is better than more--book-struck men are of all readers least wise, however knowing or learned.
Amos Bronson Alcott
I find my past in my present, and from these forecast my future.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Health, longevity, beauty, are other names for personal purity and temperance is the regimen for all.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The wisest and best are repulsive, if they are characterized by repulsive manners. Politeness is an easy virtue, costs little, and has great purchasing power.
Amos Bronson Alcott
One must be a wise reader to quote wisely and well.
