More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
The female population exceeds the male, you know, especially in New England, which accounts for the high state of culture we are in, perhaps.
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
life and love are very precious when both are in full bloom.
Louisa May Alcott
Books are always good company if you have the right sort.
Louisa May Alcott
But the spirit of Eve is strong in all her daughters.
Louisa May Alcott
I often think flowers are the angels' alphabet whereby they write on hills and fields mysterious and beautiful lessons for us to feel and learn.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
Laurie, you're an angel! How shall I ever thank you? Fly at me again. I rather liked it, said Laurie, looking mischievous, a thing he had not done for a fortnight.
Louisa May Alcott
Young people think they never can change, but they do in the most wonderful manner, and very few die of broken hearts.
Louisa May Alcott
Oh, Jo, how could you? Your one beauty.
Louisa May Alcott
I was thinking what a curious thing love is only a sentiment, and yet it has power to make fools of men and slaves of women.
Louisa May Alcott
Work is and always has been my salvation and I thank the Lord for it.
Louisa May Alcott
Don't try to make me grow up before my time.
Louisa May Alcott
Dear me! how happy and good we'd be, if we had no worries!
Louisa May Alcott
