Theodore Parker
It is very sad for a man to make himself servant to a single thing his manhood all taken out of him by the hydraulic pressure of excessive business.
Theodore Parker
What sad faces one always sees in the asylums for orphans! It is more fatal to neglect the heart than the head.
Theodore Parker
Great success is a great temptation.
Theodore Parker
