ENTITY reports on louisa may alcott quotes about feminism

 

American novelist Louisa May Alcott wrote the famous children’s book “Little Women.” But Alcott is everything but little. As a tomboy with a fierce attitude, Alcott strived to make it big. As a child, she strived to beat boys in running contests, and, as an adult, she strived to get her family out of poverty.

Her nuggets of wisdom fill us with inspiration.

So, we compiled a list of 17 of the best Louisa May Alcott quotes to inspire you to strive to be the best just like Alcott did.

1 On loneliness

“I am lonely, sometimes, but I dare say it’s good for me.”

2 On never losing faith

“Happy is the son whose faith in his mother remains unchallenged.”

3 On the balance of work and life

“Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.”

4 On having aspirations

“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 where they lead.”

5 On friendships

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

6 On a woman’s worth

“Women have been called queens for a long time, but the kingdom given them isn’t worth ruling.”

7 On strong convictions

“He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.”

8 On the importance of work

“Work is and always has been my salvation and I thank the Lord for it.”

9 On “womanly instinct”

“She had a womanly instinct that clothes possess an influence more powerful over many than the worth of character or the magic of manners.”

10 On supporting women

“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.”

11 On the difference between being talented and being smart

“It takes people a long time to learn the difference between talent and genius, especially ambitious young men and women.”

12 On dealing with painful moments

“Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us – and those around us – more effectively. Look for the learning.”

13 On money

“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.”

14 On following dreams

“We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving, and we all have the power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing.”

15 On strength and beauty in women

“The emerging woman … will be strong-minded, strong-hearted, strong-souled, and strong-bodied…strength and beauty must go together.”

16 On love

“Life and love are very precious when both are in full bloom.”

17 On men

“Men are always ready to die for us, but not to make our lives worth having. Cheap sentiment and bad logic.”

Alcott wasn’t afraid to speak her mind and speak the truth. She reminds us to go big or go home.
