Louisa May Alcott

A faithful friend is a strong defense And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.
Louisa May Alcott
Life is like college may I graduate and earn some honors.
Louisa May Alcott
…proved that woman isn't a half but a whole human being, and can stand alone.
Louisa May Alcott
Because they are mean is no reason why I should be. I hate such things, and though I think I've a right to be hurt, I don't intend to show it. (Amy March)
Louisa May Alcott
Fathers and mothers are too absorbed in business and housekeeping to study their children, and cherish that sweet and natural confidence which is a child's surest safeguard, and a parent's subtlest power.
Louisa May Alcott
