More quotes by Margaret Fuller
I should never stand alone in this desert world, but that manna would drop from heaven, if I would but rise with every rising sun to gather it.
Margaret Fuller
Union is only possible to those who are units. To be fit for relations in time, souls, whether of man or woman, must be able to do without them in the spirit.
Margaret Fuller
The highest ideal man can form of his own powers, is that which he is destined to attain. Whatever the soul knows how to seek, it cannot fail to obtain. This is the law and the prophets. Knock and it shall be opened, seek and ye shall find. It is demonstrated it is a maxim.
Margaret Fuller
But the golden-rod is one of the fairy, magical flowers it grows not up to seek human love amid the light of day, but to mark to the discerning what wealth lies hid in the secret caves of earth.
Margaret Fuller
Preparations are good in life, prologues ruinous.
Margaret Fuller
Beware of over-great pleasure in being popular or even beloved.
Margaret Fuller
Not one man, in the million, shall I say? no, not in the hundred million, can rise above the belief that woman was made for man.
Margaret Fuller

Margaret Fuller

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
I find no intellect comparable to my own
Margaret Fuller
Beware the mediocrity that threatens middle age, its limitation of thought and interest, its dullness of fancy, its too external life, and mental thinness.
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
It is a vulgar error that love, a love, to woman is her whole existence she is born for Truth and Love in their universal energy
Margaret Fuller
You see how wide the gulf that separates me from the Christian church.
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
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
Let no one dare to call another mad who is not himself willing to rank in the same class for every perversion and fault of judgment. Let no one dare aid in punishing another as criminal who is not willing to suffer the penalty due to his own offenses.
Margaret Fuller
Wine is earth's answer to the sun.
Margaret Fuller
The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
Margaret Fuller
