Parallel structure is “a similarity of structure in a pair or series of words, phrases, and thoughts.” Gerald Lebovits.
A parallel construction “is a phrase or clause that grammatically mirrors a neighboring phrase or clause.” Bryan A Garner.
Parallelism contributes to elegance in prose. It boosts rhythm.
Here are samples of parallel sentences and passages:
“But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground.” Abraham Lincoln.
“and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Abraham Lincoln.
“We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.” George W. Bush.
“I came, I saw, I conquered.” Julius Caesar.
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us.” Charles Dickens
“We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.” Winston Churchill.
“When people make mistakes, they generally do one of three things in response to them: They resolve to never make another mistake, which is impossible. They allow their mistake to make them into cowards, which is foolish. Or they make up their minds to learn from their mistake and apply the lesson to their lives, which is profitable.” John C. Maxwell.
“My main aim in this book is to help make joy your constant companion. To make that happen, this book offers not a sermon, but a science; not a teaching, but a technology; not a precept, but a path. It is now time to start exploring that science, working the technology, walking the path.” Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.
“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.” Psalm 19: 7–9.
