Louisa May Alcott
Souls and bodies should go on together.
Louisa May Alcott
It was fortunate that tea was at hand, to produce a lull and provide refreshment,— for they would have been hoarse and faint if they had gone on much longer.
Louisa May Alcott
A faithful friend is a strong defense And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.
Louisa May Alcott
Simple, genuine goodness is the best capital to found the business of this life upon. It lasts when fame and money fail, and is the only riches we can take out of this world with us.
Louisa May Alcott
Cast your bread upon the waters, and after many days it will come back buttered.
Louisa May Alcott
You are like a chestnut burr, prickly outside, but silky-soft within, and a sweet kernel, if one can only get at it. Love will make you show your heart some day, and then the rough burr will fall off.
Louisa May Alcott
