More quotes by Theodore Parker

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

Theodore Parker
Great success is a great temptation.
Theodore Parker

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
You may not, cannot, appropriate beauty. It is the wealth of the eye, and a cat may gaze upon a king.
