Amos Bronson Alcott
Civilization degrades the many to exalt the few.
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
Sloth is the tempter that beguiles and expels from paradise.
Amos Bronson Alcott
To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.
