Amos Bronson Alcott
  • To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent that is to triumph over old age.

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

  • A government, for protecting business only, is but a carcass, and soon falls by its own corruption and decay.

  • Our dreams drench us in senses, and senses steps us again in dreams.

  • Observation more than books and experience more than persons, are the prime educators.
