More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
The traveled mind is the catholic mind educated from exclusiveness and egotism.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The books that charmed us in youth recall the delight ever afterwards we are hardly persuaded there are any like them, any deserving our equal affections.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Good-humor, gay spirits, are the liberators, the sure cure for spleen and melancholy. Deeper than tears, these irradiate the tophets with their glad heavens. Go laugh, vent the pits, transmuting imps into angels by the alchemy of smiles. The satans flee at the sight of these redeemers.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
Would Shakespeare and Raleigh have done their best, would that galaxy have shone so bright in the heavens had there been no Elizabeth on the throne?
Amos Bronson Alcott
Opposition strengthens the manly will.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A government, for protecting business only, is but a carcass, and soon falls by its own corruption and decay.
Amos Bronson Alcott
One must be rich in thought and character to owe nothing to books.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Who loves a garden still his Eden keeps.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Man is a living lie--a bitter jest Upon himself--a conscious grain of sand Lost in a desert of unconsciousness.
