More quotes by Margaret Fuller
The civilized man is a larger mind but a more imperfect nature than the savage.
Margaret Fuller

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
There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman.
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
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
We need to hear the excuses men make to themselves for their worthlessness.
Margaret Fuller
Woman is born for love, and it is impossible to turn her from seeking it.
Margaret Fuller
