Margaret Fuller
The Arabian horse will not plough well, nor can the plough-horse be rode to play the jereed.
Margaret Fuller
The use of criticism, in periodical writing, is to sift, not to stamp a work.
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
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
Drudgery is as necessary to call out the treasures of the mind, as harrowing and planting those of the earth.

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

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
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
When the intellect and affections are in harmony when intellectual consciousness is calm and deep inspiration will not be confounded with fancy.
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
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
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
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
Genius will live and thrive without training, but it does not the less reward the watering pot and the pruning knife.
Margaret Fuller
