More quotes by Theodore Parker
Genius is the father of a heavenly line, but the mortal mother, that is industry.
Theodore Parker

Theodore Parker
Science is the natural ally of religion.

Theodore Parker
I do not pretend to understand the moral universe the arc is a long one. . . . But from what I see I am sure it bends toward justice.
Theodore Parker
Disappointment is often the salt of life.
Theodore Parker
The union of men in large masses is indispensable to the development and rapid growth of the higher faculties of men. Cities have always been the fireplaces of civilization whence light and heat radiated out into the dark cold world.
Theodore Parker
As society advances the standard of poverty rises.
Theodore Parker
Pride is both a virtue and a vice.
Theodore Parker
Man never falls so low that he can see nothing higher than himself.
Theodore Parker

Theodore Parker

Theodore Parker

Theodore Parker
What a joy is there in a good book, writ by some great master of thought, who breaks into beauty as in summer the meadow into grass and dandelions and violets, with geraniums and manifold sweetness.
Theodore Parker
There is no college for the conscience.
Theodore Parker
I do not pretend to understand the moral universe the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight, I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice.
Theodore Parker
I look through the grave into heaven.
Theodore Parker
It seems strange that a butterfly's wing should be woven up so thin and gauzy in the monstrous loom of nature, and be so delicately tipped with fire from such a gross hand, and rainbowed all over in such a storm of thunderous elements. The marvel is that such great forces do such nice work.
Theodore Parker
All men desire to be immortal.
Theodore Parker
The most useful is the greatest.
