March Reflections: Remembering Louisa May Alcott
“There are many Beths in the world, shy and quiet, sitting in corners till needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the sacrifices till the little cricket on the hearth stops chirping, and the sweet, sunshiny presence vanishes, leaving silence and shadow behind.”

“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than those you did.

A cloud, and a rainbow’s warning,
Suddenly sunshine and perfect blue—An April day in the morning.”

“There are two ways of spreading light;
to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”
