Text Quotes
When will society, like a mother, take care of all her children? (Horace Mann Quotes)
Let us labor for that larger comprehension of truth, and that more thorough repudiation of error, which shall make the history of mankind a series of ascending developments (Horace Mann Quotes)
On entering this world our starting-point is ignorance. None, however, but idiots remain there (Horace Mann Quotes)
We conceive of immortality as having a beginning, but no end; but we conceive of eternity as having neither beginning nor end. Hence it is proper to speak of eternity as the attribute of God, but of immortality as the attribute of man (Horace Mann Quotes)
Just in proportion as a man becomes good, divine, Christ-like, he passes out of the region of theorizing, of system-building, and hireling service, into the region of beneficent activities. It is well to think well. It is divine to act well (Horace Mann Quotes)
As an apple is not in any proper sense an apple until it is ripe, so a human being is not in any proper sense a human being until he is educated. (Horace Mann Quotes)
Of all rights which command attention at the present time among us, woman’s rights seem to take precedence. (Horace Mann Quotes)
Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery. (Horace Mann Quotes)
Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity. (Horace Mann Quotes)
The teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron. (Horace Mann Quotes)
Scientific truth is marvelous, but moral truth is divine and whoever breathes its air and walks by its light has found the lost paradise. (Horace Mann Quotes)
Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone forever. (Horace Mann Quotes)
Reproof is a medicine, like mercury or opium; if it be improperly administered, it will do harm instead of good. (Horace Mann Quotes)
Above all, let the poor hang up the amulet of temperance in their homes (Horace Mann Quotes)
In trying to teach children a great deal in a short time, they are treated not as though the race they were to run was for life, but simply a three mile heat (Horace Mann Quotes)
You need not tell all the truth, unless to those who have a right to know it; but let all you tell be truth (Horace Mann Quotes)
Scientific truth is marvellous, but moral truth is divine; and whoever breathes its air and walks by its light has found the lost paradise (Horace Mann Quotes)
Good books are to the young mind what the warming sun and the refreshing rain of spring are to the seeds which have lain dormant in the frosts of winter. They are more, for they may save from that which is worse than death, as well as bless with that which is better than life (Horace Mann Quotes)
Want of occupation is the bane of both men and women, perhaps more especially of the latter (Horace Mann Quotes)
Jails and state prisons are the complement of schools; so many less as you have of the latter, so many more you must have of the former (Horace Mann Quotes)
The most precious wine is produced upon the sides of volcanoes. Now bold and inspiring ideals are only born of a clear head that stands over a glowing heart (Horace Mann Quotes)
Manners are the root, laws only the trunk and branches. Manners are the archetypes of laws. Manners are laws in their infancy; laws are manners fully grown, or, manners are children, which, when they grow up, become laws (Horace Mann Quotes)
When you introduce into our schools a spirit of emulation, you have present the keenest spur admissible to the youthful intellect (Horace Mann Quotes)
But let a man know that there are things to be known, of which he is ignorant, and it is so much carved out of his domain of universal knowledge (Horace Mann Quotes)
The pulpit only teaches to be honest; the market place trains to overreaching and fraud; and teaching has not a tithe of the efficiency of training. Christ never wrote a tract, but He went about doing good (Horace Mann Quotes)
Finally, education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity (Horace Mann Quotes)
Man is improvable. Some people think he is only a machine, and that the only difference between a man and a mill is, that one is carried by blood and the other by water (Horace Mann Quotes)
Astronomy is one of the sublimest fields of human investigation. The mind that grasps its facts and principles receives something of the enlargement and grandeur belonging to the science itself. It is a quickener of devotion (Horace Mann Quotes)
The devil tempts men through their ambition, their cupidity, or their appetite, until he comes to the profane swearer, whom he clutches without any reward (Horace Mann Quotes)
Perhaps I do not know what I was made for; but one thing I certainly never was made for, and that is to put principles on and off at the dictation of a party, as a lackey changes his livery at his master (Horace Mann Quotes)
