Text Quotes
Let there be an entire abstinence from intoxicating drinks throughout this country during the period of a single generation, and a mob would be as impossible as combustion without oxygen  (Horace Mann Quotes) Education must bring the practice as nearly as possible to the theory. As the children now are, so will the sovereigns soon be  (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) 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) Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it every day, and at last we cannot break it  (Horace Mann Quotes) Knowledge has its boundary line, where it abuts on ignorance; on the outside of that boundary line are ignorance and miracles; on the inside of it are science and no miracles  (Horace Mann Quotes) A teacher should, above all things, first induce a desire in the pupil for the acquisition he wishes to impart  (Horace Mann Quotes) Every school boy and school girl who has arrived at the age of reflection ought to know something about the history of the art of printing  (Horace Mann Quotes) If an idiot were to tell you the same story every day for a year, you would end by believing it  (Horace Mann Quotes) Ignorance breeds monsters to fill up the vacancies of the soul that are unoccupied by the verities of knowledge  (Horace Mann Quotes) Let the public mind become corrupt, and all efforts to secure property, liberty, or life by the force of laws written on paper will be as vain as putting up a sign in an apple orchard to exclude canker worms  (Horace Mann Quotes) If you wish to write well, study the life about you, life in the public streets  (Horace Mann Quotes) Great books are written for Christianity much oftener than great deeds are done for it. City libraries tell us of the reign of Jesus Christ but city streets tell us of the reign of Satan  (Horace Mann Quotes) You may be liberal in your praise where praise is due: it costs nothing; it encourages much  (Horace Mann Quotes) It has long seemed to me that it would be more honorable to our ancestors to praise them in words less, but in deeds to imitate them more  (Horace Mann Quotes) Virtue is an angel, but she is a blind one, and must ask knowledge to show her the pathway that leads to her goal  (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) Generosity during life is a very different thing from generosity in the hour of death; one proceeds from genuine liberality and benevolence, the other from pride or fear  (Horace Mann Quotes) A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them. It is wrong to his family. Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it. And the love of knowledge, in a young mind, is almost a warrant against the inferior excitement of passions and vices  (Horace Mann Quotes) A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron  (Horace Mann Quotes) Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves. We must purposely be kind and generous, or we miss the best part of existence. The heart which goes out of itself gets large and full. This is the great secret of the inner life. We do ourselves the most good doing something for others  (Horace Mann Quotes) If any man seeks for greatness, let him forget greatness and ask for truth, and he will find both  (Horace Mann Quotes) If evil is inevitable, how are the wicked accountable? Nay, why do we call men wicked at all? Evil is inevitable, but is also remediable  (Horace Mann Quotes) Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen  (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) Much that we call evil is really good in disguises; and we should not quarrel rashly with adversities not yet understood, nor overlook the mercies often bound up in them  (Horace Mann Quotes) Resolve to edge in a little reading every day, if it is but a single sentence. If you gain fifteen minutes a day, it will make itself felt at the end of the year  (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) Unfaithfulness in the keeping of an appointment is an act of clear dishonesty. You may as well borrow a person's money as his time  (Horace Mann Quotes) When a child can be brought to tears, and not from fear of punishment, but from repentance he needs no chastisement. When the tears begin to flow from the grief of their conduct you can be sure there is an angel nestling in their heart  (Horace Mann Quotes)
