Louisa May Alcott
Souls and bodies should go on together.
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
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
Liberty must not be abused.
Louisa May Alcott
The dirt is picturesque, so I don't mind.
Louisa May Alcott
Well, if I can't be happy, I can be useful, perhaps.
Louisa May Alcott
We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving, and we all have the power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing.
Louisa May Alcott
