More quotes by Theodore Parker
There is no college for the conscience.
Theodore Parker
Politics is the science of urgencies.
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
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
It takes a Newton to forge a Newton. What man could have fabricated a Jesus? None but a Jesus.
Theodore Parker
Disappointment is often the salt of life.
Theodore Parker
Never violate the sacredness of your individual self-respect.
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
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 books that help you the most are those which make you think the most.
Theodore Parker
Wit has its place in debate in controversy it is a legitimate weapon, offensive and defensive.
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
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
As society advances the standard of poverty rises.
Theodore Parker
I do not pretend to understand the moral universe the arc is a long one. . . . But from what I see I am sure it bends toward justice.
Theodore Parker
The great man is to be the servant of mankind, not they of him.
Theodore Parker
Great success is a great temptation.
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
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
Pride is both a virtue and a vice.
Theodore Parker
