Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
Cast your bread upon the waters, and after many days it will come back buttered.
Louisa May Alcott
Girls are so queer you never know what they mean. They say No when they mean Yes, and drive a man out of his wits for the fun of it.
Louisa May Alcott
Salt is like good-humor, and nearly every thing is better for a pinch of it.
Louisa May Alcott
…marriage, they say, halves one's rights and doubles one's duties.
Louisa May Alcott
I am lonely, sometimes, but I dare say it's good for me.
Louisa May Alcott
The scar will remain, but it is better for a man to lose both arms than his soul and these hard years, instead of being lost, may be made the most precious of your lives, if they teach you to rule yourselves.
Louisa May Alcott
But, Polly, a principle that can't bear being laughed at, frowned on, and cold-shouldered, isn't worthy of the name.
Louisa May Alcott
