Louisa May Alcott
...freedom being the sauce best beloved by the boyish soul.
Louisa May Alcott
You are like a chestnut burr, prickly outside, but silky-soft within, and a sweet kernel, if one can only get at it. Love will make you show your heart some day, and then the rough burr will fall off.
Louisa May Alcott
Everybody has their days of misfortune.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
He was poor, yet always appeared to be giving something away a stranger, yet everyone was his friend no longer young, but as happy-hearted as a boy plain and peculiar, yet his face looked beautiful to many.
Louisa May Alcott
Human minds are more full of mysteries than any written book and more changeable than the cloud shapes in the air.
Louisa May Alcott
She began to see that character is a better possession than money, rank, intellect, or beauty, and to feel that if greatness is what a wise man has defined it to be, 'truth, reverence, and good will,' then her friend Friedrich Bhaer was not only good, but great.
Louisa May Alcott
politics were as bad as mathematics, and that the mission of politicians seemed to be calling each other names
Louisa May Alcott
Now I'm beginning to live a little and feel less like a sick oyster at low tide.
Louisa May Alcott
I shall keep my book on the table here, and read a little every morning as soon as I wake, for I know it will do me good, and help me through the day.
Louisa May Alcott
My father taught in the wise way which unfolds what lies in the child
