Familiar Quotations: Parker

AuthorQuotation

Dorothy Parker

Women and elephants never forget.

Martin Parker

When the stormy winds do blow.

Theodore Parker

As society advances the standard of poverty rises.
Outward judgment often fails, inward judgment never.
Never violate the sacredness of your individual self-respect.
Man never falls so low that he can see nothing higher than himself.
Democracy means not "I'm as good as you are," but "you're as good as I am."
Democracy is direct self-government, over all the people, for all the people, by all the people.
Wealth and want equally harden the human heart, like frost and fire both are alien to human flesh.
