Louisa May Alcott
Money is the root of all evil, and yet it is such a useful root that we cannot get on without it any more than we can without potatoes.
Louisa May Alcott
Nothing is impossible to a determined woman.
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
But many of the bravest never are known, and get no praise. That does not lessen their beauty.
Louisa May Alcott
[Jo to her mother] I knew there was mischief brewing. I felt it and now it's worse than I imagined. I just wish I could marry Meg myself, and keep her safe in the family.
Louisa May Alcott
Jo's ambition was to do something very splendid what it was she had no idea, as yet, but left it for time to tell her.
Louisa May Alcott
I did fail, say what you will, for Jo wouldn't love me.
Louisa May Alcott
Salt is like good-humor, and nearly every thing is better for a pinch of it.
Louisa May Alcott
…often between ourselves and those nearest and dearest to us there exists a reserve which it is very hard to overcome.
Louisa May Alcott
