Theodore Parker
Religion without joy-it is no religion.
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
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
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
Greatness is its own torment.
Theodore Parker
It takes a Newton to forge a Newton. What man could have fabricated a Jesus? None but a Jesus.
Theodore Parker
Man is the jewel of God, who has created this material world to keep his treasure in.
Theodore Parker
Who escapes a duty, avoids a gain.
Theodore Parker
The most useful is the greatest.
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
Man never falls so low that he can see nothing higher than himself.
Theodore Parker
I do not pretend to understand the moral universe the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight, I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice.
Theodore Parker
