Louisa May Alcott

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
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
Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.
Louisa May Alcott
A time will come when you will find that in gaining a brief joy you have lost your peace forever.
Louisa May Alcott
Nothing seemed impossible in the beginning.
Louisa May Alcott
Be worthy love, and love will come.
Louisa May Alcott
My definition (of a philosopher) is of a man up in a balloon, with his family and friends holding the ropes which confine him to earth and trying to haul him down.
