More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Housekeeping ain't no joke.
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
You don’t need scores of suitors. You need only one… if he’s the right one.
Louisa May Alcott
Watch and pray, dear, never get tired of trying, and never think it is impossible to conquer your fault.
Louisa May Alcott
If you dear little girls would only learn what real beauty is, and not pinch and starve and bleach yourselves out so, you'd save an immense deal of time and money and pain. A happy soul in a healthy body makes the best sort of beauty for man or woman.
Louisa May Alcott

Some stories are so familiar its like going home.
Louisa May Alcott
She began to see that character is a better possession than money, rank, intellect, or beauty, and to feel that if greatness is what a wise man has defined it to be, 'truth, reverence, and good will,' then her friend Friedrich Bhaer was not only good, but great.
Louisa May Alcott
Life is like college may I graduate and earn some honors.
Louisa May Alcott
All is fish that comes to the literary net. Goethe puts his joys and sorrows into poems, I turn my adventures into bread and butter.
Louisa May Alcott
Nothing seemed impossible in the beginning.
Louisa May Alcott
Men are often bad, but babies never are.
Louisa May Alcott
We can't any of us do all we would like, but we can do our best for every case that comes to us, and that helps amazingly.
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
