More quotes by Theodore Parker
Who escapes a duty, avoids a gain.
Theodore Parker
Great success is a great temptation.
Theodore Parker

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
As society advances the standard of poverty rises.
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

Theodore Parker
The great man is to be the servant of mankind, not they of him.
Theodore Parker

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
Magnificent promises are always to be suspected.
Theodore Parker
Pride is both a virtue and a vice.
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
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
The coat of the buffalo never pinches under the arm, never puckers at the shoulders it is always the same, yet never old fashioned nor out of date.
Theodore Parker
Science is the natural ally of religion.
