Theodore Parker
The books which help you most are those which make you think the most. The hardest way of learning is by easy reading every man that tries it finds it so. But a great book that comes from a great thinker, — it is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth, with beauty too.
Theodore Parker
Self-denial is indispensable to a strong character, and the highest kind comes from a religious stock.
Theodore Parker

Theodore Parker
I look through the grave into heaven.
