More quotes by Margaret Fuller
Drudgery is as necessary to call out the treasures of the mind, as harrowing and planting those of the earth.
Margaret Fuller
A house is no home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as for the body. For human beings are not so constituted that they can live without expansion. If they do not get it in one way, they must in another, or perish.
Margaret Fuller
Man is not made for society, but society is made for man. No institution can be good which does not tend to improve the individual.
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
Those have not lived who have not seen Rome.
Margaret Fuller
Be what you would seem to be.
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
I stand in the sunny noon of life. Objects no longer glitter in the dews of morning, neither are yet softened by the shadows of evening.
Margaret Fuller
After having admired the women of Rome, say to yourself, 'I too am beautiful!' ... In you I met a real person. I need not give you any other praise.
Margaret Fuller
There is some danger lest there be no real religion in the heart which craves too much daily sympathy.
Margaret Fuller
... the Power who gave a power, by its mere existence, signifies that it must be brought out towards perfection.
Margaret Fuller
I am 'too fiery'... yet I wish to be seen as I am and I would lose all rather than soften away anything.
Margaret Fuller
It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods.
Margaret Fuller
Preparations are good in life, prologues ruinous.
Margaret Fuller
Plants of great vigor will almost always struggle into blossom, despite impediments. But there should be encouragement, and a free genial atmosphere for those of more timid sort, fair play for each in its own kind.
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
Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.
Margaret Fuller
I find no intellect comparable to my own
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 civilized man is a larger mind but a more imperfect nature than the savage.
Margaret Fuller
