  1. Louisa May Alcott _ Jack and Jill

    It is often said that there should be no death or grief in children's stories. It is not wise to dwell on the dark and sad side of these things; but they have also a bright and lovely side, and since even the youngest, dearest, and most guarded child cannot escape some knowledge of the great mystery, is it not well to teach them in simple, cheerful ways that affection sweetens sorrow, and a lovely life can make death beautiful?

  5. Louisa May Alcott _ Jack and Jill

  6. Louisa May Alcott _ Jack and Jill

    Our actions are in our own hands, but the consequences of them are not. Remember that, my dear, and think twice before you do anything.
