Souls and bodies should go on together.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
Wild roses are fairest, and nature a better gardener than art.
Louisa May Alcott
Such hours are beautiful to live, but very hard to describe.
Louisa May Alcott
Wouldn't it be fun if all the castles in the air which we make could come true and we could live in them?
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
Money is a needful and precious thing
Louisa May Alcott
Have your fun, my dear but if you must earn your bread, try to make it sweet with cheerfulness, not bitter with the daily regret that it isn't cake.
Louisa May Alcott
Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
Louisa May Alcott
…she rejoiced as only mothers can in the good fortunes of their children.
Louisa May Alcott
She preferred imaginary heroes to real ones, because when tired of them, the former could be shut up in the tin kitchen till called for, and the latter were less manageable.
Louisa May Alcott
The clocks were striking midnight and the rooms were very still as a figure glided quietly from bed to bed, smoothing a coverlid here, settling a pillow there, and pausing to look long and tenderly at each unconscious face, to kiss each with lips that mutely blessed, and to pray the fervent prayers which only mothers utter.
Louisa May Alcott
it was easier to do a friendly thing than it was to stay and be thanked for it.
Louisa May Alcott
I put in my list all the busy, useful independent spinsters I know, for liberty is a better husband than love to many of us.
Louisa May Alcott
