Quotes by Louisa May Alcott

“…feeling as if all the happiness and support of their lives was about to be taken from them.”

“Well, I am happy, and I wont fret, but it does seem as if the more one gets the more one wants…”

“These girls were anxious to be good, and made many excellent resolutions, but they did not keep them very well, and were constantly saying, If we only had this, or if we could only do that, quite forgetting how much they already had, and how many pleasant things they actually could do; so they asked an old woman what spell they could use to make them happy, and she said, When you feel discontented, think over your blessings, and be grateful.”

“…wisely mingled poetry and prose.”

“But, like all happiness, it did not last long…”

“Its lovely to see people so happy.”
