Where the heart is the mind works best.
Louisa May Alcott
...for a girl with eyes like hers has a will and is not ruled by anyone but a lover.
Louisa May Alcott
I'm tired of praise and love is very sweet, when it is simple and sincere like this.
Louisa May Alcott
…tomorrow was her birthday, and she was thinking how fast the years went by, how old she was getting, and how little she seemed to have accomplished. Almost twenty-five and nothing to show for it.
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
Love and Loyalty If ever men and women are their simplest, sincerest selves, it is when suffering softens the one, and sympathy strengthens the other.
Louisa May Alcott
