One must be a wise reader to quote wisely and well.
Quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott

Strengthen me by sympathizing with my strength, not my weakness.
We climb to heaven most often on the ruins of our cherished plans, finding our failures were successes.
The less routine the more life.

Observation more than books, experience rather than persons, are the prime educators.
Who loves a garden, still his Eden keeps, Perennial pleasures plants, and wholesome harvests reaps.
