…on some occasions, women, like dreams, go by contraries.
Louisa May Alcott
Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
Louisa May Alcott
Wealth is certainly a most desirable thing, but poverty has its sunny side, and one of the sweet uses of adversity is the genuine satisfaction which comes from hearty work of head or hand, and to the inspiration of necessity, we owe half the wise, beautiful, and useful blessings of the world.
Louisa May Alcott
it was easier to do a friendly thing than it was to stay and be thanked for it.
Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
Nothing is impossible to a determined woman.
Louisa May Alcott
I don't like favors they oppress and make me fell like a slave. I'd rather do everything for myself, and be perfectly independent.
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
In the midst of her tears came the thought, When people are in danger, they ask God to save them and, slipping down upon her knees, she said her prayer as she had never said it before, for when human help seems gone we turn to Him as naturally as lost children cry to their father, and feel sure that he will hear and answer them.
Louisa May Alcott
I could have been a great many things.
Louisa May Alcott
where I wholly love I wholly trust.
Louisa May Alcott
We can't any of us do all we would like, but we can do our best for every case that comes to us, and that helps amazingly.
Louisa May Alcott
So she enjoyed herself heartily, and found, what isn't always the case, that her granted wish was all she had hoped.
Louisa May Alcott
