More quotes by 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
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
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
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
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
In order that she may be able to give her hand with dignity, she must be able to stand alone.
Margaret Fuller
What concerns me now is that my life be a beautiful, powerful, in a word, a complete life of its kind.
Margaret Fuller
Art can only be truly art by presenting an adequate outward symbol of some fact in the interior life.
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
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
Wine is earth's answer to the sun.
Margaret Fuller
The life of the soul is incalculable.
Margaret Fuller
The Arabian horse will not plough well, nor can the plough-horse be rode to play the jereed.
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
The civilized man is a larger mind but a more imperfect nature than the savage.
Margaret Fuller
The especial genius of women I believe to be electrical in movement, intuitive in function, spiritual in tendency.
Margaret Fuller
Beware of over-great pleasure in being popular or even beloved.
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
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
