More quotes by Margaret Fuller
Genius will live and thrive without training, but it does not the less reward the watering pot and the pruning knife.
Margaret Fuller
The only woman to whom it has been given to touch what is decisive in the present world and to have a presentiment of the world of the future.
Margaret Fuller
We would have every arbitrary barrier thrown down. We would have every path laid open to woman as freely as to man.
Margaret Fuller
The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
Margaret Fuller
A man who means to think and write a great deal must, after six and twenty, learn to read with his fingers.
Margaret Fuller
The Greeks saw everything in forms which we are trying to ascertain as law, and classify as cause.
Margaret Fuller
What concerns me now is that my life be a beautiful, powerful, in a word, a complete life of its kind.
Margaret Fuller
Man can never come up to his ideal standard. It is the nature of the immortal spirit to raise that standard higher and higher as it goes from strength to strength, still upward and onward. The wisest and greatest men are ever the most modest.
Margaret Fuller
Reverence the highest, have patience with the lowest. Let this day's performance of the meanest duty be thy religion. Are the stars too distant, pick up the pebble that lies at thy feet, and from it learn the all.
Margaret Fuller
Truth is the nursing mother of genius.
Margaret Fuller
We need to hear the excuses men make to themselves for their worthlessness.
Margaret Fuller
Some degree of expression is necessary for growth, but it should be little in proportion to the full life.
Margaret Fuller
With the intellect I always have always shall overcome, but that is not the half of the work. The life, the life Oh my God! shall the life never be sweet!
Margaret Fuller
Put up at the moment of greatest suffering a prayer, not for thy own escape, but for the enfranchisement of some being dear to thee, and the sovereign spirit will accept thy ransom.
Margaret Fuller
There are noble books but one wants the breath of life sometimes. And I see no divine person. I myself am more divine than any I see I think that is enough to say about them.
Margaret Fuller
There is some danger lest there be no real religion in the heart which craves too much daily sympathy.
Margaret Fuller
The public must learn how to cherish the nobler and rarer plants, and to plant the aloe, able to wait a hundred years for it's bloom, or it's garden will contain, presently, nothing but potatoes and pot-herbs.
Margaret Fuller
Artists are always young.
Margaret Fuller
... the Power who gave a power, by its mere existence, signifies that it must be brought out towards perfection.
Margaret Fuller
If any individual live too much in relations, so that he becomes a stranger to the resources of his own nature, he falls, after a while, into a distraction, or imbecility, from which he can only be cured by a time of isolation, which gives the renovating fountains time to rise up.
Margaret Fuller
