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buffalo never pinches under the arm, never puckers at the shoulders it is always the same, yet never old fashioned nor out of date.

More quotes by 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
Man never falls so low that he can see nothing higher than himself.
Theodore Parker
The books that help you the most are those which make you think the most.
Theodore Parker
Greatness is its own torment.
Theodore Parker
Religion without joy-it is no religion.
Theodore Parker
I look through the grave into heaven.
Theodore Parker
Pride is both a virtue and a vice.
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
The union of men in large masses is indispensable to the development and rapid growth of the higher faculties of men. Cities have always been the fireplaces of civilization whence light and heat radiated out into the dark cold world.
Theodore Parker
What succeeds we keep, and it becomes the habit of mankind.
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
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
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
Democracy is direct self-government over all the people, for all the people, by all the people.
Theodore Parker
Remorse is the pain of sin.
Theodore Parker
The earnestness of life is the only passport to satisfaction of life.
Theodore Parker
The books which help you most are those which make you think the most. The hardest way of learning is by easy reading every man that tries it finds it so. But a great book that comes from a great thinker, — it is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth, with beauty too.
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
There is no college for the conscience.
Theodore Parker
Nature is God's Old Testament.
