More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
If we are all alive ten years hence, let's meet, and see how many of us have got our wishes, or how much nearer we are then than now.
Louisa May Alcott
Money is a needful and precious thing
Louisa May Alcott
There are many Beths in the world, shy and quiet, sitting in corners till needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the sacrifices till the little cricket on the hearth stops chirping, and the sweet, sunshiny presence vanishes, leaving silence and shadow behind.
Louisa May Alcott
Because they are mean is no reason why I should be. I hate such things, and though I think I've a right to be hurt, I don't intend to show it. (Amy March)
Louisa May Alcott
No love or pity, pardon or excuse should soften the sharp pang of reparation for the guilty man.

Love is the only thing that we can carry with us when we go, and it makes the end so easy.
Louisa May Alcott
I don't worry about the storms, I am learning to sail my own ship.
Louisa May Alcott
I'm tired of praise and love is very sweet, when it is simple and sincere like this.
Louisa May Alcott
Oh dear, life is pretty tough sometimes, isn't it?
Louisa May Alcott
My father taught in the wise way which unfolds what lies in the child
Louisa May Alcott
...a capital patient, as she never died and never got well.
Louisa May Alcott
The moment Aunt March took her nap, or was busy with company, Jo hurried to this quiet place, and curling herself up in the easy chair, devoured poetry, romance, history, travels, and pictures like a regular bookworm.
Louisa May Alcott
Have your fun, my dear but if you must earn your bread, try to make it sweet with cheerfulness, not bitter with the daily regret that it isn't cake.
Louisa May Alcott
Everybody has their days of misfortune.
Louisa May Alcott
Every few weeks she would shut herself up in her room, put on her scribbling suit, and fall into a vortex, as she expressed it, writing away at her novel with all her heart and soul, for till that was finished she could find no peace.
Louisa May Alcott
At twenty-five, girls begin to talk about being old maids, but secretly resolve that they never will. At thirty, they say nothing about it, but quietly accept the fact.
Louisa May Alcott
I went [to war] because I couldn't help it. I didn't want the glory or the pay I wanted the right thing done.
Louisa May Alcott
I had a pleasant time with my mind, for it was happy.
Louisa May Alcott
