Theodore Parker
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
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
I look through the grave into heaven.
Theodore Parker
Every man has at times in his mind the Ideal of what he should be, but is not. This ideal may be high and complete, or it may be quite low and insufficient yet in all men, that really seek to improve, it is better than the actual character... Man never falls so low, that he can see nothing higher than himself.
Theodore Parker
Did not Jesus say, resist not evil — with evil? Is not war the worst form of that evil.
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
Mankind never loses any good thing, physical, intellectual, or moral, till it finds a better, and then the loss is a gain. No steps backward is the rule of human history. What is gained by one man is invested in all men, and is a permanent investment for all time.
Theodore Parker
The books that help you the most are those which make you think the most.
