Help one another is part of the religion of our sisterhood.
Louisa May Alcott
Now I'm beginning to live a little and feel less like a sick oyster at low tide.
Louisa May Alcott
Love and Loyalty If ever men and women are their simplest, sincerest selves, it is when suffering softens the one, and sympathy strengthens the other.
Louisa May Alcott
People cannot be molded like clay.
Louisa May Alcott
Mothers can forgive anything!
Louisa May Alcott
Dear me! how happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries!
Louisa May Alcott
...the love, respect, and confidence of my children was the sweetest reward I could receive for my efforts to be the woman I would have them copy.
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
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
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

Louisa May Alcott

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
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
Have your fun, my dear but if you must earn your bread, try to make it sweet with cheerfulness, not bitter with the daily regret that it isn't cake.
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
I'd rather take coffee than compliments just now.
Louisa May Alcott
If life is often so hard as this, I don't see how we ever shall get through it.
Louisa May Alcott
...for love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride.
Louisa May Alcott
Dan clung to her in speechless gratitude, feeling the blessedness of mother love, — that divine gift which comforts, purifies, and strengthens all who seek it.
