More quotes by 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.

Louisa May Alcott
Young people think they never can change, but they do in the most wonderful manner, and very few die of broken hearts.
Louisa May Alcott
I'd rather take coffee than compliments just now.
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
Jo's ambition was to do something very splendid what it was she had no idea, as yet, but left it for time to tell her.
Louisa May Alcott
But, Polly, a principle that can't bear being laughed at, frowned on, and cold-shouldered, isn't worthy of the name.
Louisa May Alcott
I am lonely, sometimes, but I dare say it's good for me.
