More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
Yet the deepest truths are best read between the lines, and, for the most part, refuse to be written.
Amos Bronson Alcott
What higher praise can we bestow on any one than to say of him that he harbors another's prejudices with a hospitality so cordial as to give him, for the time, the sympathy next best to, if indeed it be not edification in, charity itself.

Amos Bronson Alcott
Labor humanizes, exalts.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A friendship formed in childhood, in youth,--by happy accident at any stage of rising manhood,--becomes the genius that rules the rest of life.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Easy come, easy go... Achieve-everything-while-doing-nothing schemes don't work, they are just not logical
Amos Bronson Alcott
The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-trust. He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him. He will have no disciples.
Amos Bronson Alcott
