More quotes by Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
Everybody has their days of misfortune.
Louisa May Alcott
where I wholly love I wholly trust.
Louisa May Alcott
I believe that it is as much a right and duty for women to do something with their lives as for men and we are not going to be satisfied with such frivolous parts as you give us.
Louisa May Alcott
A faithful friend is a strong defense And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.
Louisa May Alcott
. . . for when women are the advisers, the lords of creation don't take the advice till they have persuaded themselves that it is just what they intended to do.

Louisa May Alcott
Liberty must not be abused.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
Poor dull Concord. Nothing colorful has come through here since the Redcoats.
Louisa May Alcott
Love scenes, if genuine, are indescribable for to those who have enacted them the most elaborate description seems tame, and to those who have not, the simplest picture seems overdone.
Louisa May Alcott
Money is a needful and precious thing, and when well used, a noble thing, but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for. I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self-respect and peace.
Louisa May Alcott
Men are often bad, but babies never are.
Louisa May Alcott
Mac looked up with the oddest of all his odd expressions
Louisa May Alcott
Ridicule is often harder to bear than self-denial.
Louisa May Alcott
Wild roses are fairest, and nature a better gardener than art.
Louisa May Alcott
Some books are so familiar that reading them is like being home again.
