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
Such hours are beautiful to live, but very hard to describe.
Louisa May Alcott
A quick temper, sharp tongue, and restless spirit were always getting her into scrapes, and her life was a series of ups and downs, which were both comic and pathetic.
Louisa May Alcott
…proved that woman isn't a half but a whole human being, and can stand alone.
Louisa May Alcott
…she was one of those happily created beings who please without effort, make friends everywhere, and take life so gracefully and easily that less fortunate souls are tempted to believe that such are born under a lucky star.
Louisa May Alcott
Wealth is certainly a most desirable thing, but poverty has its sunny side, and one of the sweet uses of adversity is the genuine satisfaction which comes from hearty work of head or hand, and to the inspiration of necessity, we owe half the wise, beautiful, and useful blessings of the world.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
I don't think secrets agree with me, I feel rumpled up in mind since you told me that.
Louisa May Alcott
But the spirit of Eve is strong in all her daughters.
Louisa May Alcott
There are many Beths in the world, shy and quiet, sitting in corners till needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the sacrifices till the little cricket on the hearth stops chirping, and the sweet, sunshiny presence vanishes, leaving silence and shadow behind.
Louisa May Alcott
Now I'm beginning to live a little and feel less like a sick oyster at low tide.
Louisa May Alcott
where I wholly love I wholly trust.
Louisa May Alcott
Men are always ready to die for us, but not to make our lives worth having. Cheap sentiment and bad logic.
Louisa May Alcott
I'm tired of praise and love is very sweet, when it is simple and sincere like this.
Louisa May Alcott
Your father, Jo. He never loses patience, never doubts or complains, but always hopes, and works and waits so cheerfully that one is ashamed to do otherwise before him.
Louisa May Alcott
The female population exceeds the male, you know, especially in New England, which accounts for the high state of culture we are in, perhaps.
Louisa May Alcott
Every few weeks she would shut herself up in her room, put on her scribbling suit, and fall into a vortex, as she expressed it, writing away at her novel with all her heart and soul, for till that was finished she could find no peace.
Louisa May Alcott
The small hopes and plans and pleasures of children should be tenderly respected by grown-up people, and never rudely thwarted or ridiculed.
Louisa May Alcott
