More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Father asked us what was God's noblest work. Anna said men, but I said babies. Men are often bad, but babies never are.
Louisa May Alcott
In the midst of her tears came the thought, When people are in danger, they ask God to save them and, slipping down upon her knees, she said her prayer as she had never said it before, for when human help seems gone we turn to Him as naturally as lost children cry to their father, and feel sure that he will hear and answer them.
Louisa May Alcott
Be worthy love, and love will come.
Louisa May Alcott
My definition (of a philosopher) is of a man up in a balloon, with his family and friends holding the ropes which confine him to earth and trying to haul him down.
Louisa May Alcott
I was thinking what a curious thing love is only a sentiment, and yet it has power to make fools of men and slaves of women.
Louisa May Alcott
Salt is like good-humor, and nearly every thing is better for a pinch of it.
Louisa May Alcott
Better lose your life than your soul.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
It was fortunate that tea was at hand, to produce a lull and provide refreshment,— for they would have been hoarse and faint if they had gone on much longer.
Louisa May Alcott
[She was] kept there in the sort of embrace a man gives to the dearest creature the world holds for him.
Louisa May Alcott
To most the end comes as naturally and simply as sleep.
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'm perfectly miserable but if you consider me presentable, I die happy.
Louisa May Alcott
Rome took all the vanity out of me for after seeing the wonders there, I felt too insignificant to live, and gave up all my foolish hopes in despair.
Louisa May Alcott
Ridicule is often harder to bear than self-denial.
Louisa May Alcott
Wild roses are fairest, and nature a better gardener than art.
Louisa May Alcott
The scar will remain, but it is better for a man to lose both arms than his soul and these hard years, instead of being lost, may be made the most precious of your lives, if they teach you to rule yourselves.
Louisa May Alcott
Now I'm beginning to live a little and feel less like a sick oyster at low tide.
Louisa May Alcott
Simple, sincere people seldom speak much of their piety it shows itself in acts rather than words, and has more influence than homilies or protestations.
Louisa May Alcott
But, Polly, a principle that can't bear being laughed at, frowned on, and cold-shouldered, isn't worthy of the name.
Louisa May Alcott
