More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
I don't think secrets agree with me, I feel rumpled up in mind since you told me that.
Louisa May Alcott
Your father, Jo. He never loses patience, never doubts or complains, but always hopes, and works and waits so cheerfully that one is ashamed to do otherwise before him.
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
Dan clung to her in speechless gratitude, feeling the blessedness of mother love, — that divine gift which comforts, purifies, and strengthens all who seek it.
Louisa May Alcott
I have nothing to give but my heart so full and these empty hands. They're not empty now.
Louisa May Alcott
Where the heart is the mind works best.
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.
Louisa May Alcott
I like to help women help themselves, as that is, in my opinion, the best way to settle the woman question. Whatever we can do and do well we have a right to, and I don't think any one will deny us.
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. I always imagine it is as it is in the picture, where the shining ones stretch out their hands to welcome poor Christian as he comes up from the river.
Louisa May Alcott
Wild roses are fairest, and nature a better gardener than art.
Louisa May Alcott
Such hours are beautiful to live, but very hard to describe.
Louisa May Alcott
Fame is a very good thing to have in the house, but cash is more convenient.
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
I'd rather take coffee than compliments just now.
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
Fathers and mothers are too absorbed in business and housekeeping to study their children, and cherish that sweet and natural confidence which is a child's surest safeguard, and a parent's subtlest power.
Louisa May Alcott
You have grown abominably lazy, and you like gossip, and waste time on frivolous things, you are contented to be petted and admired by silly people, instead of being loved and respected by wise ones.
Louisa May Alcott
I could have been a great many things.
Louisa May Alcott
Love is the only thing that we can carry with us when we go, and it makes the end so easy.
Louisa May Alcott
You don’t need scores of suitors. You need only one… if he’s the right one.
Louisa May Alcott
