Happy is the son whose faith in his mother remains unchallenged.
Louisa May Alcott
It takes people a long time to learn the difference between talent and genius, especially ambitious young men and women.
Louisa May Alcott
If people really want to go, and really try all their lives, I think they will get in for I don't believe there are any locks on that door, or any guards at the gate.

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
It is my opinion that this day will never come to an end, said Prince, with a yawn that nearly rent him assunder.
Louisa May Alcott
Human minds are more full of mysteries than any written book and more changeable than the cloud shapes in the air.
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
What do girls do who haven't any mothers to help them through their troubles?
Louisa May Alcott
...for love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride.
Louisa May Alcott
Back to him she would never go, but in her lonely life still lived the sweet memory of that happy time when she believed in him and he was all in all to her.
Louisa May Alcott
Wealth is certainly a most desirable thing, but poverty has its sunny side, and one of the sweet uses of adversity is the genuine satisfaction which comes from hearty work of head or hand, and to the inspiration of necessity, we owe half the wise, beautiful, and useful blessings of the world.
Louisa May Alcott
Housekeeping ain't no joke.
Louisa May Alcott
...and clung more closely to the dear human love, from which our Father never means us to be weaned, but through which He draws us closer to Himself.
Louisa May Alcott
