More quotes by 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
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
Preparations are good in life, prologues ruinous.
Margaret Fuller
In order that she may be able to give her hand with dignity, she must be able to stand alone.
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
All great expression, which on a superficial survey seems so easy as well as so simple, furnishes after a while, to the faithful observer, its own standard by which to appreciate it.
Margaret Fuller
Who does not observe the immediate glow and security that is diffused over the life of woman, before restless or fretful, by engaging in gardening, building, or the lowest department of art? Here is something that is not routine--something that draws forth life towards the infinite.
Margaret Fuller

Margaret Fuller

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

Margaret Fuller
What a difference it makes to come home to a child!
Margaret Fuller
... the Power who gave a power, by its mere existence, signifies that it must be brought out towards perfection.
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 life of the soul is incalculable.
Margaret Fuller
The use of criticism, in periodical writing, is to sift, not to stamp a work.
Margaret Fuller
Truth is the nursing mother of genius.
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
I find no intellect comparable to my own
Margaret Fuller
It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods.
Margaret Fuller
