More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
It is never too early to try and plant [good principles] in a child, and never too late to cultivate them in the most neglected person.
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
Where the heart is the mind works best.
Louisa May Alcott
Now I'm beginning to live a little and feel less like a sick oyster at low tide.
Louisa May Alcott
I think we are all hopelessly flawed.
Louisa May Alcott
Men are always ready to die for us, but not to make our lives worth having. Cheap sentiment and bad logic.
Louisa May Alcott
Men are often bad, but babies never are.
Louisa May Alcott
Ridicule is often harder to bear than self-denial.
Louisa May Alcott
. . . for when women are the advisers, the lords of creation don't take the advice till they have persuaded themselves that it is just what they intended to do. Then they act upon it, and, if it succeeds, they give the weaker vessel half the credit of it. If it fails, they generously give her the whole.
Louisa May Alcott
... because I have fallen in love with so many pretty girls and never once the least bit with any man.
Louisa May Alcott
Dear me! how happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries!
Louisa May Alcott
…she rejoiced as only mothers can in the good fortunes of their children.
Louisa May Alcott
People don't have fortunes left them in that style nowadays men have to work and women to marry for money. It's a dreadfully unjust world.
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
To most the end comes as naturally and simply as sleep.
Louisa May Alcott
Books are always good company if you have the right sort.
Louisa May Alcott
I like good strong words that mean something.
Louisa May Alcott
Life is my university, and I hope to graduate from it with some distinction.
Louisa May Alcott
The scar will remain, but it is better for a man to lose both arms than his soul and these hard years, instead of being lost, may be made the most precious of your lives, if they teach you to rule yourselves.
Louisa May Alcott
The small hopes and plans and pleasures of children should be tenderly respected by grown-up people, and never rudely thwarted or ridiculed.
Louisa May Alcott
