More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Watch and pray, dear, never get tired of trying, and never think it is impossible to conquer your fault.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
The emerging woman ... will be strong-minded, strong-hearted, strong-souled, and strong-bodied...strength and beauty must go together.
Louisa May Alcott
If life is often so hard as this, I don't see how we ever shall get through it.
Louisa May Alcott
What do girls do who haven't any mothers to help them through their troubles?
Louisa May Alcott
I want to be great, or nothing. I won't be a commonplace dauber, so I don't intend to try any more.
Louisa May Alcott
Nothing is impossible to a determined woman.
Louisa May Alcott
And the good fairy said, I won't leave you money or pretty dresses but I will leave you the spirit to seek your fortune from your own efforts.
Louisa May Alcott
Souls and bodies should go on together.
Louisa May Alcott
It is my opinion that this day will never come to an end, said Prince, with a yawn that nearly rent him assunder.
