More quotes by Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
Love is a great beautifier.
Louisa May Alcott
Liberty must not be abused.
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
To most the end comes as naturally and simply as sleep.
Louisa May Alcott
I had a pleasant time with my mind, for it was happy.
Louisa May Alcott
You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty.
Louisa May Alcott
Well, if I can't be happy, I can be useful, perhaps.
Louisa May Alcott
