More quotes by Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
Jo's breath gave out here, and wrapping her head in the paper, she bedewed her little story with a few natural tears, for to be independent and earn the praise of those she loved were the dearest wishes of her heart, and this seemed to be the first step toward that happy end.
Louisa May Alcott
It's a great comfort to have an artistic sister.
Louisa May Alcott
Simple, sincere people seldom speak much of their piety it shows itself in acts rather than words, and has more influence than homilies or protestations.
Louisa May Alcott
It is my opinion that this day will never come to an end, said Prince, with a yawn that nearly rent him assunder.
Louisa May Alcott
No love or pity, pardon or excuse should soften the sharp pang of reparation for the guilty man.
Louisa May Alcott
Back to him she would never go, but in her lonely life still lived the sweet memory of that happy time when she believed in him and he was all in all to her.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
The patience and the humility of the face she loved so well was a better lesson to Jo than the wisest lecture, the sharpest reproof.
Louisa May Alcott
There are many Beths in the world, shy and quiet, sitting in corners till needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the sacrifices till the little cricket on the hearth stops chirping, and the sweet, sunshiny presence vanishes, leaving silence and shadow behind.
Louisa May Alcott
Youth, health and freedom were meant to be enjoyed and I want to try every pleasure before I am too old to enjoy them.
Louisa May Alcott
A faithful friend is a strong defense And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.
Louisa May Alcott
Happy is the son whose faith in his mother remains unchallenged.
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
Men are often bad, but babies never are.
Louisa May Alcott
…because talent isn't genius, and no amount of energy can make it so. I want to be great, or nothing.
Louisa May Alcott
Go out more, keep cheerful as well as busy, for you are the sunshine-maker of the family, and if you get dismal there is no fair weather.
Louisa May Alcott
Cast your bread upon the waters, and after many days it will come back buttered.
Louisa May Alcott
I don't like favors they oppress and make me fell like a slave. I'd rather do everything for myself, and be perfectly independent.
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
