Louisa May Alcott
Father asked us what was God's noblest work. Anna said men, but I said babies. Men are often bad, but babies never are.
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
Cast your bread upon the waters, and after many days it will come back buttered.
Louisa May Alcott
