Amos Bronson Alcott
Sloth is the tempter that beguiles and expels from paradise.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Wherever comes man comes tragedy and comedy also.
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.
