More quotes by Theodore Parker
Greatness is its own torment.
Theodore Parker
The whole sum and substance of human history may be reduced to this maxim: that when man departs from the divine means of reaching the divine end, he suffers harm and loss.
Theodore Parker
The diamond which shines in the Saviour's crown shall burn in unquenched beauty at last on the forehead of every human soul.
Theodore Parker
All men desire to be immortal.
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
What succeeds we keep, and it becomes the habit of mankind.
Theodore Parker
Disappointment is often the salt of life.
Theodore Parker
Man is the jewel of God, who has created this material world to keep his treasure in.
Theodore Parker
Pride is both a virtue and a vice.

The miraculous revelation of the Old Testament and the New, the miracles of famous men, Jews, Gentiles, or Christians, — then Franklin had no religion at all and it would be an insult to say that he believed in the popular theology of his time, or of ours, for I find not a line from his pen indicating any such belief.
Theodore Parker
Did not Jesus say, resist not evil — with evil? Is not war the worst form of that evil.
Theodore Parker
Genius is the father of a heavenly line, but the mortal mother, that is industry.
Theodore Parker
Never violate the sacredness of your individual self-respect.
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
No man is so great as mankind.
Theodore Parker
Magnificent promises are always to be suspected.
Theodore Parker
All the spaces between my mind and the mind of God are full of truths waiting to be crystallized into laws for the government of the masses.
Theodore Parker
Science, also, is most largely indebted to these beauty-loving Greeks, for truth is one form of loveliness.
Theodore Parker
That which is called liberality is frequently nothing more than the vanity of giving.
Theodore Parker
Want and wealth equally harden the human heart, as frost and fire are both alien to the human flesh. Famine and gluttony alike drive away nature from the heart of man.
Theodore Parker
