More quotes by Theodore Parker
Every man has at times in his mind the Ideal of what he should be, but is not.

Man never falls so low, that he can see nothing higher than himself.

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
