More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
One's outlook is a part of his virtue.
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. For what disturbs more and distracts mankind than the uncivil manners that cleave man from man?
Amos Bronson Alcott
Like birds of passage, the instincts drift the soul adventurously beyond the horizon of sensible things, as if intent on convoying it to the mother country from whence it had flown.
Amos Bronson Alcott

Amos Bronson Alcott

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
The best teachers don't allow their own personal views to influence their teaching.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Inspiration must find answering inspiration.
Amos Bronson Alcott
Ignorance is innocence - stupidity comes with experience
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
Prudence is the footprint of Wisdom.
