Quotes by : Amos Bronson Alcott

The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence.

To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.

The less routine the more life.

Good books, like good friends, are few and chosen; the more select, the more enjoyable.

We climb to heaven most often on the ruins of our cherished plans, finding our failures were successes.....

Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats.

Action and blood now get the game. Disdain treads on the peaceful name.

A true teacher defends his students against his own personal influences.

While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may....

Where there is a mother in the home, matters go well.
