More quotes by Theodore Parker
Greatness is its own torment.
Theodore Parker
Who escapes a duty, avoids a gain.
Theodore Parker
The great man is to be the servant of mankind, not they of him.
Theodore Parker
Genius is the father of a heavenly line, but the mortal mother, that is industry.

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

Theodore Parker
Man never falls so low that he can see nothing higher than himself.
Theodore Parker
The most useful is the greatest.
Theodore Parker
Democracy is direct self-government over all the people, for all the people, by all the people.
Theodore Parker
That which is called liberality is frequently nothing more than the vanity of giving.
Theodore Parker
Did not Jesus say, resist not evil — with evil? Is not war the worst form of that evil.
Theodore Parker
There never was a great truth but it was reverenced never a great institution, nor a great man, that did not, sooner or later, receive the reverence of mankind.
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
