More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
An author who sets his reader on sounding the depths of his own thoughts serves him best.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Experience converts us to ourselves when books fail us.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Your real influence is measured by your treatment of yourself.
Amos Bronson Alcott
A happy childhood is the pledge of a ripe manhood.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Dignity of manner always conveys a sense of reserved force.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The fable runs that the gods mix our pains and pleasure in one cup, and thus mingle for us the adulterate immortality which we alone are permitted here to enjoy. Voluptuous raptures, could we prolong these at pleasure, would dissipate and dissolve us. A sip is the most that mortals are permitted from any goblet of delight.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Genius has oftenest been the pariah of his time, the unhoused god whom none cared for, unnamed till they whom he first promoted, enriched and honored, found it honorable to own their benefactor.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott
No one is promiscuous in his way of dying. A man who has decided to hang himself will never jump in front of a train.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Pleasure, that immortal essence, the beauteous bead sparkling in the cup, effervesces soon and subsides.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Of books in our time the variety is so voluminous, and they follow so fast from the press, that one must be a swift reader to acquaint himself even with their titles, and wise to discern what are worth reading.
Amos Bronson Alcott
One's life should be sufficiently interesting to furnish entertainment in the record.
Amos Bronson Alcott
None can teach admirably if not loving his task.
Amos Bronson Alcott
The more one endeavors to sound the depths of his ignorance the deeper the chasm appears.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Modesty is bred of self-reverence. Fine manners are the mantle of fair minds.
Amos Bronson Alcott
