More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
Children are illuminated text-books, breviaries of doctrine, living bodies of divinity, open always and inviting their elders to peruse the characters inscribed on the lovely leaves.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Many are those who can argue few are those who can converse
Amos Bronson Alcott
All unrest is but the struggle of the soul to reassure herself of her inborn immortality.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
A happy childhood is the pledge of a ripe manhood.
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
Ideas in the head set hands about their several tasks.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A chaste generation would restore Paradise.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Our dreams drench us in senses, and senses steps us again in dreams.
Amos Bronson Alcott
