More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Your father, Jo. He never loses patience, never doubts or complains, but always hopes, and works and waits so cheerfully that one is ashamed to do otherwise before him.
Louisa May Alcott
I am lonely, sometimes, but I dare say it's good for me.
Louisa May Alcott
Liberty must not be abused.
Louisa May Alcott
It takes two flints to make a fire.
Louisa May Alcott
You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty.
Louisa May Alcott
I've learned to check the hasty words that rise to my lips, and when I feel that they mean to break out against my will, I just go away for a minute, and give myself a little shake for being so weak and wicked.
Louisa May Alcott
Where the heart is the mind works best.
Louisa May Alcott
Love is apt to make lunatics of even men and saints.
Louisa May Alcott
I like to help women help themselves, as that is, in my opinion, the best way to settle the woman question. Whatever we can do and do well we have a right to, and I don't think any one will deny us.
Louisa May Alcott
Mothers can forgive anything!
Louisa May Alcott
…Jo loved a few persons very dearly and dreaded to have their affection lost or lessened in any way.
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
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
Well, I am happy, and I won't fret, but it does seem as if the more one gets the more one wants.
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
To marry without love betrays as surely as to love without marriage.
Louisa May Alcott
Laurie, you're an angel! How shall I ever thank you? Fly at me again. I rather liked it, said Laurie, looking mischievous, a thing he had not done for a fortnight.
Louisa May Alcott
I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all.
Louisa May Alcott
In the midst of her tears came the thought, When people are in danger, they ask God to save them and, slipping down upon her knees, she said her prayer as she had never said it before, for when human help seems gone we turn to Him as naturally as lost children cry to their father, and feel sure that he will hear and answer them.
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
