Theodore Parker
There never was a great truth but it was reverenced never a great institution, nor a great man, that did not, sooner or later, receive the reverence of mankind.
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
Genius is the father of a heavenly line, but the mortal mother, that is industry.
Theodore Parker
The earnestness of life is the only passport to satisfaction of life.
