More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Love is apt to make lunatics of even men and saints.
Louisa May Alcott
I'm tired of praise and love is very sweet, when it is simple and sincere like this.
Louisa May Alcott
If you dear little girls would only learn what real beauty is, and not pinch and starve and bleach yourselves out so, you'd save an immense deal of time and money and pain. A happy soul in a healthy body makes the best sort of beauty for man or woman.
Louisa May Alcott
{Mrs. March to Jo} You are too much alike and too fond of freedom, not to mention hot tempers and strong wills, to get on happily together, in a relation which needs infinite patience and forbearance, as well as love.
Louisa May Alcott
I often think flowers are the angels' alphabet whereby they write on hills and fields mysterious and beautiful lessons for us to feel and learn.
Louisa May Alcott
I don't worry about the storms, I am learning to sail my own ship.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
... for it is the small temptations which undermine integrity unless we watch and pray and never think them too trivial to be resisted.
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
Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.
Louisa May Alcott
Simple, genuine goodness is the best capital to found the business of this life upon. It lasts when fame and money fail, and is the only riches we can take out of this world with us.
Louisa May Alcott
Poor dull Concord. Nothing colorful has come through here since the Redcoats.
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 love my liberty too well to be in a hurry to give it up for any mortal man.
Louisa May Alcott
Work is always my salvation and I will celebrate it.
Louisa May Alcott
Love is a beautifier.
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.
Louisa May Alcott
And the good fairy said, I won't leave you money or pretty dresses but I will leave you the spirit to seek your fortune from your own efforts.
Louisa May Alcott
