Louisa May Alcott
And when they went away, leaving comfort behind, I think there were not in all the city four merrier people than the hungry little girls who gave away their breakfasts and contented themselves with bread and milk on Christmas morning.
Louisa May Alcott
Liberty must not be abused.
Louisa May Alcott
