More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
it was easier to do a friendly thing than it was to stay and be thanked for it.
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
My definition (of a philosopher) is of a man up in a balloon, with his family and friends holding the ropes which confine him to earth and trying to haul him down.
Louisa May Alcott
Jo's breath gave out here, and wrapping her head in the paper, she bedewed her little story with a few natural tears, for to be independent and earn the praise of those she loved were the dearest wishes of her heart, and this seemed to be the first step toward that happy end.
Louisa May Alcott
Money is a needful and precious thing
Louisa May Alcott
I am lonely, sometimes, but I dare say it's good for me.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
Rome took all the vanity out of me for after seeing the wonders there, I felt too insignificant to live, and gave up all my foolish hopes in despair.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
People don't have fortunes left them in that style nowadays men have to work and women to marry for money. It's a dreadfully unjust world.
Louisa May Alcott
I'm perfectly miserable but if you consider me presentable, I die happy.
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
Love is a great beautifier.
Louisa May Alcott
I could have been a great many things.
Louisa May Alcott
The small hopes and plans and pleasures of children should be tenderly respected by grown-up people, and never rudely thwarted or ridiculed.
Louisa May Alcott
