Louisa May Alcott
Well, if I can't be happy, I can be useful, perhaps.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
Work is always my salvation and I will celebrate it.
Louisa May Alcott
I had a pleasant time with my mind, for it was happy.
Louisa May Alcott
where I wholly love I wholly trust.
Louisa May Alcott
Mothers can forgive anything!
Louisa May Alcott
I am lonely, sometimes, but I dare say it's good for me.
Louisa May Alcott
Love is a beautifier.
Louisa May Alcott
