More quotes by Theodore Parker
What succeeds we keep, and it becomes the habit of mankind.
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
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
The miser, starving his brother's body, starves also his own soul, and at death shall creep out of his great estate of injustice, poor and naked and miserable
Theodore Parker
Genius is the father of a heavenly line, but the mortal mother, that is industry.
Theodore Parker
Religion without joy-it is no religion.
Theodore Parker
Politics is the science of urgencies.
Theodore Parker
Pride is both a virtue and a vice.
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
Did not Jesus say, resist not evil — with evil? Is not war the worst form of that evil.
Theodore Parker
Remorse is the pain of sin.
Theodore Parker
Applying good sense to religion and religion to life. This is the field in which I design to labor
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 great man is to be the servant of mankind, not they of him.
Theodore Parker
No man is so great as mankind.
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
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 earnestness of life is the only passport to satisfaction of life.
Theodore Parker
Democracy is direct self-government over all the people, for all the people, by all the people.
Theodore Parker
