More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Love is a beautifier.
Louisa May Alcott
Some books are so familiar that reading them is like being home again.
Louisa May Alcott

Everybody has their days of misfortune.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
We can't any of us do all we would like, but we can do our best for every case that comes to us, and that helps amazingly.
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
Nothing provokes speculation more than the sight of a woman enjoying herself. -
Louisa May Alcott
Well, if I can't be happy, I can be useful, perhaps.
Louisa May Alcott
Youth, health and freedom were meant to be enjoyed and I want to try every pleasure before I am too old to enjoy them.
Louisa May Alcott
I will make a battering-ram of my head and make my way through this rough and tumble world.
Louisa May Alcott
