A faithful friend is a strong defense And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.
Louisa May Alcott
I don't worry about the storms, I am learning to sail my own ship.
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
…Jo loved a few persons very dearly and dreaded to have their affection lost or lessened in any way.
