More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Now and then genius carries all before it, but not often. We have to climb slowly, with many slips and falls.
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
Jo had learned that hearts, like flowers, cannot be rudely handled, but must open naturally.
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
I've learned to check the hasty words that rise to my lips, and when I feel that they mean to break out against my will, I just go away for a minute, and give myself a little shake for being so weak and wicked.
Louisa May Alcott
Jo's face was a study next day, for the secret rather weighed upon her, and she found it hard not to look mysterious and important. Meg observed it, but did not troubled herself to make inquiries, for she had learned that the best way to manage Jo was by the law of contraries, so she felt sure of being told everything if she did not ask.
Louisa May Alcott
where I wholly love I wholly trust.
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
Men are always ready to die for us, but not to make our lives worth having. Cheap sentiment and bad logic.
Louisa May Alcott
Ridicule is often harder to bear than self-denial.
Louisa May Alcott
I like to help women help themselves, as that is, in my opinion, the best way to settle the woman question. Whatever we can do and do well we have a right to, and I don't think any one will deny us.
Louisa May Alcott
Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
Louisa May Alcott
…Jo loved a few persons very dearly and dreaded to have their affection lost or lessened in any way.
Louisa May Alcott
Now we are expected to be as wise as men who have had generations of all the help there is, and we scarcely anything.
Louisa May Alcott
Rome took all the vanity out of me for after seeing the wonders there, I felt too insignificant to live, and gave up all my foolish hopes in despair.
Louisa May Alcott
Salt is like good-humor, and nearly every thing is better for a pinch of it.
Louisa May Alcott
If you dear little girls would only learn what real beauty is, and not pinch and starve and bleach yourselves out so, you'd save an immense deal of time and money and pain. A happy soul in a healthy body makes the best sort of beauty for man or woman.
Louisa May Alcott
What do girls do who haven't any mothers to help them through their troubles?
Louisa May Alcott
Oh dear, life is pretty tough sometimes, isn't it?
Louisa May Alcott
Dan clung to her in speechless gratitude, feeling the blessedness of mother love, — that divine gift which comforts, purifies, and strengthens all who seek it.
Louisa May Alcott
