Louisa May Alcott

"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and try to follow them. "

"Housekeeping ain't no joke. "

"I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship. "

"I like to help women help themselves, as that is, in my opinion, the best way to settle the woman question. Whatever we can do and do well we have a right to, and I don't think any one will deny us. "

"Love is a great beautifier. "

"Money is the root of all evil, and yet it is such a useful root that we cannot get on without it any more than we can without potatoes. "
