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.”

“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.”

“Politics is the science of urgencies.”

“As society advances the standard of poverty rises.”
