Text Quotes
Wealth and want equally harden the human heart, like frost and fire both are alien to human flesh (Theodore Parker Quotes)
Let us do our duty, in our shop in our kitchen, in the market, the street, the office, the school, the home, just as faithfully as if we stood in the front rank of some great battle, and knew that victory for mankind depends on our bravery, strength, and skill. When we do that, the humblest of us will be serving in that great army which achieves the welfare of the world (Theodore Parker Quotes)
We are a rebellious nation. Our whole history is treason; our blood was attained before we were born; our creeds were infidelity to the mother church; our constitution treason to our fatherland (Theodore Parker Quotes)
The use of great men is to serve the little men, to take care of the human race, and act as practical interpreters of justice and truth (Theodore Parker Quotes)
The whole sum and substance of human history may be reduced to this maxim: that when man departs from the divine means of reaching the divine end, he suffers harm and loss (Theodore Parker Quotes)
I believe in the admission of women to the full rights of citizenship and share in government, on the express grounds that few women keep house so badly or with such wastefulness as chancellors of the exchequer keep the state (Theodore Parker Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The duty of labor is written on a man's body: in the stout muscle of the arm, and the delicate machinery of the hand (Theodore Parker Quotes)
All men need something to poetize and idealize their life a little - something which they value for more than it's use, and which is a symbol of their emancipation from the mere materialism and drudgery of daily life (Theodore Parker Quotes)
Justice is the idea of God, the ideal of man, the rule of conduct writ in the nature of mankind (Theodore Parker Quotes)
Be not familiar with the idea of wrong, for sin in fancy mothers many an ugly fact (Theodore Parker Quotes)
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 Quotes)
He prays best who, not asking God to do man's work, prays penitence, prays resolutions, and then prays deeds - thus supplicating with heart and head and hands (Theodore Parker Quotes)
Man is the jewel of God, who has created this material world to keep his treasure in (Theodore Parker Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The lottery of honest labor, drawn by time, is the only one whose prizes are worth taking up and carrying home (Theodore Parker Quotes)
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 (Theodore Parker Quotes)
Self-denial is indispensable to a strong character, and the loftiest kind thereof comes only of a religious stock, from consciousness of obligation and dependence upon God (Theodore Parker Quotes)
Measure slavery by the golden rule, and where is it? It stands in the way of that automatic instinct of progress which is eternal in the human race and irresistible in human history (Theodore Parker Quotes)
It is vain to trust in wrong; as much of evil, so much of loss, is the formula of human history (Theodore Parker Quotes)
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 Quotes)
In this country every one gets a mouthful of education, but scarcely any one a full meal (Theodore Parker Quotes)
The great basis of the Christian faith is compassion; do not dismiss that from your hearts, neither will your Maker (Theodore Parker Quotes)
Did the mass of men know the actual selfishness and injustice of their rulers, not a government would stand a year. The world would foment with revolution (Theodore Parker Quotes)
You may not, cannot, appropriate beauty. It is the wealth of the eye, and a cat may gaze upon a king (Theodore Parker Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The joy of heaven will begin as soon as we attain the character of heaven, and do it's duties (Theodore Parker Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The books which help you most are those which make you think the most. The hardest way of learning is by easy reading: but a great book that comes from a great thinker - it is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and with beauty (Theodore Parker Quotes)
