More quotes by Theodore Parker

Theodore Parker
Such a large sweet fruit is a complete marriage, that it needs a very long summer to ripen in and then a long winter to mellow and season it.
Theodore Parker
You may not, cannot, appropriate beauty. It is the wealth of the eye, and a cat may gaze upon a king.

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
Politics is the science of urgencies.
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 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
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
All men desire to be immortal.
Theodore Parker
The earnestness of life is the only passport to satisfaction of life.
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
