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.

More quotes by 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
There exists in the minds of men a tone of feeling toward women as toward slaves.
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
In order that she may be able to give her hand with dignity, she must be able to stand alone.
Margaret Fuller
Be what you would seem to be.
Margaret Fuller
Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - a house is no home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.
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
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
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
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
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
Those have not lived who have not seen Rome.
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
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
I know of no inquiry which the impulses of man suggests that is forbidden to the resolution of man to pursue.
Margaret Fuller
Would that the simple maxim, that honesty is the best policy, might be laid to heart that a sense of the true aim of life might elevate the tone of politics and trade till public and private honor become identical.
Margaret Fuller
Life is richly worth living, with its continual revelations of mighty woe, yet infinite hope and I take it to my breast.
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
You see how wide the gulf that separates me from the Christian church.
Margaret Fuller
To one who has enjoyed the full life of any scene, of any hour, what thoughts can be recorded about it seem like the commas and semicolons in the paragraph-mere stops.
Margaret Fuller
