More quotes by 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
It takes three or four women to get each man into, through, and out of the world.
Louisa May Alcott
My only answer is, if my grave stood open on one side and you upon the other I'd go into my grave before I would take one step to meet you.
Louisa May Alcott
Laurie, you're an angel! How shall I ever thank you? Fly at me again. I rather liked it, said Laurie, looking mischievous, a thing he had not done for a fortnight.
Louisa May Alcott
Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.
Louisa May Alcott
Ridicule is often harder to bear than self-denial.
Louisa May Alcott
If people really want to go, and really try all their lives, I think they will get in for I don't believe there are any locks on that door, or any guards at the gate. I always imagine it is as it is in the picture, where the shining ones stretch out their hands to welcome poor Christian as he comes up from the river.
Louisa May Alcott
Money is the root of all evil, and yet it is such a useful root that we cannot get on without it any more than we can without potatoes.
Louisa May Alcott
Money is a needful and precious thing, and when well used, a noble thing, but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for. I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self-respect and peace.
Louisa May Alcott
Some books are so familiar that reading them is like being home again.
Louisa May Alcott
Back to him she would never go, but in her lonely life still lived the sweet memory of that happy time when she believed in him and he was all in all to her.
Louisa May Alcott
To most the end comes as naturally and simply as sleep.
Louisa May Alcott
Love is the only thing that we can carry with us when we go, and it makes the end so easy.
Louisa May Alcott
I will make a battering-ram of my head and make my way through this rough and tumble world.
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
Beth ceased to fear him from that moment, and sat there talking to him as cozily as if she had known him all her life, for love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride.
Louisa May Alcott
Don't cry so bitterly, but remember this day, and resolve with all your soul that you will never know another like it.
Louisa May Alcott
books have been my greatest comfort, castle-building a never-failing delight, and scribbling a very profitable amusement.
Louisa May Alcott
It’s amazing how lovely common things become, if one only knows how to look at them.
Louisa May Alcott
...a capital patient, as she never died and never got well.
Louisa May Alcott
