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 Alcott 392 quotes

He was poor, yet always appear...

He was poor, yet always appeared to be giving something away; a stranger, yet everyone was his friend; no longer young, but as happy-hearted as a boy; plain and peculiar, yet his face looked beautiful to many.

All is fish that comes to the literary net. Goethe puts his joys and sorrows into poems, I turn my adventures into bread and butter.

Louisa Alcott 392 quotes

Self-pity in its early stages ...

Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.

Where's the use of looking nice, when no one sees me but those cross midgets, and no one cares whether I'm pretty or not?

The scar will remain, but it is better for a man to lose both arms than his soul; and these hard years, instead of being lost, may be made the most precious of your lives, if they teach you to rule yourselves.

Louisa Alcott 392 quotes

Education is not confined to books, and the finest characters often graduate from no college, but make experience their master, and life their book. [Some care] only for the mental culture, and [are] in danger of over-studying, under the delusion . . . that learning must be had at all costs, forgetting that health and real wisdom are better.

Louisa Alcott 392 quotes

She preferred imaginary heroes...

She preferred imaginary heroes to real ones, because when tired of them, the former could be shut up in the tin kitchen till called for, and the latter were less manageable.

Louisa Alcott 392 quotes

You are like a chestnut burr, ...

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 Alcott 392 quotes

Be worthy love, and love will ...

Be worthy love, and love will come.

Louisa Alcott 392 quotes

If you dear little girls would...

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.
