More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Work is and always has been my salvation and I thank the Lord for it.
Louisa May Alcott
If life is often so hard as this, I don't see how we ever shall get through it.
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
And the good fairy said, I won't leave you money or pretty dresses but I will leave you the spirit to seek your fortune from your own efforts.
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

Louisa May Alcott
The small hopes and plans and pleasures of children should be tenderly respected by grown-up people, and never rudely thwarted or ridiculed.
Louisa May Alcott
I shall keep my book on the table here, and read a little every morning as soon as I wake, for I know it will do me good, and help me through the day.
Louisa May Alcott
Don't cry so bitterly, but remember this day, and resolve with all your soul that you will never know another like it.
Louisa May Alcott
I was thinking what a curious thing love is only a sentiment, and yet it has power to make fools of men and slaves of women.
Louisa May Alcott
A child her wayward pencil drew On margins of her book Garlands of flower, dancing elves, Bud, butterfly, and brook, Lessons undone, and plum forgot, Seeking with hand and heart The teacher whom she learned to love Before she knew t'was Art.
Louisa May Alcott
…on some occasions, women, like dreams, go by contraries.
Louisa May Alcott
Well, if I can't be happy, I can be useful, perhaps.
Louisa May Alcott
Dear me! how happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries!
Louisa May Alcott
Love is a great beautifier.
Louisa May Alcott
Rivalry adds so much to the charms of one's conquests.
Louisa May Alcott
No love or pity, pardon or excuse should soften the sharp pang of reparation for the guilty man.
Louisa May Alcott
The emerging woman ... will be strong-minded, strong-hearted, strong-souled, and strong-bodied...strength and beauty must go together.
Louisa May Alcott
Oh dear, life is pretty tough sometimes, isn't it?
Louisa May Alcott
