More quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Don't shut yourself up in a band box because you are a woman, but understand what is going on, and educate yourself to take part in the world's work, for it all affects you and yours.
Louisa May Alcott
…on some occasions, women, like dreams, go by contraries.
Louisa May Alcott
Life is like college may I graduate and earn some honors.
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
Don't cry so bitterly, but remember this day, and resolve with all your soul that you will never know another like it.
Louisa May Alcott
…what splendid dreams young people build upon a word, and how bitter is the pain when the bright bubbles burst.
Louisa May Alcott
Housekeeping ain't no joke.
Louisa May Alcott
And the good fairy said, I won't leave you money or pretty dresses but I will leave you the spirit to seek your fortune from your own efforts.
Louisa May Alcott
where I wholly love I wholly trust.
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
I love my liberty too well to be in a hurry to give it up for any mortal man.
Louisa May Alcott
You have grown abominably lazy, and you like gossip, and waste time on frivolous things, you are contented to be petted and admired by silly people, instead of being loved and respected by wise ones.
Louisa May Alcott
. . . for when women are the advisers, the lords of creation don't take the advice till they have persuaded themselves that it is just what they intended to do. Then they act upon it, and, if it succeeds, they give the weaker vessel half the credit of it. If it fails, they generously give her the whole.
Louisa May Alcott
Work is and always has been my salvation and I thank the Lord for it.
Louisa May Alcott
I put in my list all the busy, useful independent spinsters I know, for liberty is a better husband than love to many of us.
Louisa May Alcott
Life is my university, and I hope to graduate from it with some distinction.
Louisa May Alcott
Jo's breath gave out here, and wrapping her head in the paper, she bedewed her little story with a few natural tears, for to be independent and earn the praise of those she loved were the dearest wishes of her heart, and this seemed to be the first step toward that happy end.
Louisa May Alcott
I'd rather take coffee than compliments just now.
Louisa May Alcott
...and best of all, the wilderness of books, in which she could wander, where she liked, made the library a region of bliss to her.
Louisa May Alcott
It’s amazing how lovely common things become, if one only knows how to look at them.
