Amos Bronson Alcott
  • Our ideals are our better selves.

  • The less routine the more life.

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

  • Our notion of the perfect society embraces the family as its center and ornament, and this paradise is not secure until children appear to animate and complete the picture.

  • Strengthen me by sympathizing with my strength, not my weakness.
