Louisa May Alcott
He was poor, yet always appeared to be giving something away a stranger, yet everyone was his friend no longer young, but as happy-hearted as a boy plain and peculiar, yet his face looked beautiful to many.
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
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
The clocks were striking midnight and the rooms were very still as a figure glided quietly from bed to bed, smoothing a coverlid here, settling a pillow there, and pausing to look long and tenderly at each unconscious face, to kiss each with lips that mutely blessed, and to pray the fervent prayers which only mothers utter.
Louisa May Alcott
I want to be great, or nothing. I won't be a commonplace dauber, so I don't intend to try any more.
