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
A time will come when you will find that in gaining a brief joy you have lost your peace forever.
