More quotes by Theodore Parker
It takes a Newton to forge a Newton. What man could have fabricated a Jesus? None but a Jesus.
Theodore Parker
That which is called liberality is frequently nothing more than the vanity of giving.
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
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
Science is the natural ally of religion.
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buffalo never pinches under the arm, never puckers at the shoulders it is always the same, yet never old fashioned nor out of date.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
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
Greatness is its own torment.
Theodore Parker
There is no intercessor, angel, mediator, between man and God for man can speak and God hear, each for himself. He requires no advocates to plead for men.
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
What sad faces one always sees in the asylums for orphans! It is more fatal to neglect the heart than the head.
Theodore Parker
Democracy is direct self-government over all the people, for all the people, by all the people.
Theodore Parker
You may not, cannot, appropriate beauty. It is the wealth of the eye, and a cat may gaze upon a king.
Theodore Parker
Wit has its place in debate in controversy it is a legitimate weapon, offensive and defensive.
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
Man is the highest product of his own history. The discoverer finds nothing so grand or tall as himself, nothing so valuable to him. The greatest star is at the small end, of the telescope,--the star that is looking, not looked after nor looked at.
Theodore Parker
Great success is a great temptation.
Theodore Parker
The books that help you the most are those which make you think the most.
Theodore Parker
Remorse is the pain of sin.
Theodore Parker
