More From Margaret Fuller
- "It is astonishing what force, purity, and wisdom it requires for a human being to keep clear of falsehoods."
- "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."
- "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."
More In Society

- "The only part of the conduct of any one, for which he is amenable to society, is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign."― John Stuart Mill
- "Live with integrity, respect the rights of other people, and follow your own bliss."― Nathaniel Branden
