{Mrs. March to Jo} You are too much alike and too fond of freedom, not to mention hot tempers and strong wills, to get on happily together, in a relation which needs infinite patience and forbearance, as well as love.

More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
A faithful friend is a strong defense And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.
Louisa May Alcott
Watch and pray, dear, never get tired of trying, and never think it is impossible to conquer your fault.
Louisa May Alcott
Everybody has their days of misfortune.
Louisa May Alcott
Simple, genuine goodness is the best capital to found the business of this life upon. It lasts when fame and money fail, and is the only riches we can take out of this world with us.
Louisa May Alcott
Fathers and mothers are too absorbed in business and housekeeping to study their children, and cherish that sweet and natural confidence which is a child's surest safeguard, and a parent's subtlest power.
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
To marry without love betrays as surely as to love without marriage.

Every house needs a grandmother in it.
Louisa May Alcott
…often between ourselves and those nearest and dearest to us there exists a reserve which it is very hard to overcome.
Louisa May Alcott
If people really want to go, and really try all their lives, I think they will get in for I don't believe there are any locks on that door, or any guards at the gate. I always imagine it is as it is in the picture, where the shining ones stretch out their hands to welcome poor Christian as he comes up from the river.
Louisa May Alcott
