Quote by Louisa May Alcott

“Rose: A real sacrifice is giving up something you want or enjoy very much, isn't it? Alec: Yes. Rose: Doing it one's own self because one loves another person very much and wants her to be happy? Alec: Yes. Rose: And doing it pleasantly, and being glad about it, and not minding the praise if it doesn't come? Alec: Yes dear, that is the true spirit of self-sacrifice...”
