Text Quotes
An ignorant man is always able to say yes or no immediately to any proposition. To a wise man, comparatively few things can be propounded which do not require a response with qualifications, with discriminations, with proportion (Horace Mann Quotes)
If you can express yourself so as to be perfectly understood in ten words, never use a dozen (Horace Mann Quotes)
The false man is more false to himself than to any one else. He may despoil others, but himself is the chief loser. The world’s scorn he might sometimes forget, but the knowledge of his own perfidy is undying (Horace Mann Quotes)
There is not a good work which the hand of man has ever undertaken, which his heart has ever conceived, which does not require a good education for its helper (Horace Mann Quotes)
Whatever statesman or sage will effect reforms upon a gigantic or godlike scale must begin with the young (Horace Mann Quotes)
We are prone to seek immediate pleasure or good, however small, rather than remote pleasure or good, however vast (Horace Mann Quotes)
Every event in this world is the effect of some precedent cause, and also the cause of some subsequent effect (Horace Mann Quotes)
On the face of it, it must be a bad cause which will not bear discussion. Truth seeks light instead of shunning it (Horace Mann Quotes)
He who shuts out truth, by the same act opens the door to all the error that supplies its place (Horace Mann Quotes)
It is far more difficult, I assure you, to live for the truth than to die for it (Horace Mann Quotes)
Do not think of knocking out another person’s brains because he differs in opinion from you. It would be as rational to knock yourself on the head because you differ from yourself ten years ago (Horace Mann Quotes)
The earth flourishes, or is overrun with noxious weeds and brambles, as we apply or withhold the cultivating hand. So fares it with the intellectual system of man (Horace Mann Quotes)
It would be more honourable to our distinguished ancestors to praise them in words less, but in deeds to imitate them more (Horace Mann Quotes)
There may be frugality which is not economy. A community, that withholds the means of education from its children, withholds the bread of life and starves their souls (Horace Mann Quotes)
The object of punishment is prevention from evil; it can never be made impulsive to good (Horace Mann Quotes)
Republics, one after another... have perished from a want of intelligence and virtue in the masses of the people (Horace Mann Quotes)
Great knowledge is requisite to instruct those who have been well instructed, but still greater knowledge is requisite to instruct those who have been neglected (Horace Mann Quotes)
As each generation comes into the world devoid of knowledge, its first duty is to obtain possession of the stores already amassed. It must overtake its predecessors before it can pass by them (Horace Mann Quotes)
Knowledge is but an instrument, which the profligate and the flagitious may use as well as the brave and the just (Horace Mann Quotes)
There is a deeper pleasure in following truth to the scaffold or the cross, than in joining the multitudinous retinue, and mingling our shouts with theirs, when victorious error celebrates its triumphs (Horace Mann Quotes)
Love not only occupies the higher lobes of the brain, but crowds out the lower to make room for its expansion (Horace Mann Quotes)
In vain do they talk of happiness who never subdued an impulse in obedience to a principle. He who never sacrificed a present to a future good, or a personal to a general one, can speak of happiness only as the blind speak of color (Horace Mann Quotes)
He who cannot resist temptation is not a man. Whoever yields to temptation debases himself with a debasement from which he can never arise (Horace Mann Quotes)
We go by the major vote, and if the majority are insane, the sane must go to the hospital (Horace Mann Quotes)
We must be purposely kind and generous or we miss the best part of life’s existence (Horace Mann Quotes)
Biography, especially of the great and good, who have risen by their own exertions to eminence and usefulness, is an inspiring and ennobling study. Its direct tendency is to reproduce the excellence it records (Horace Mann Quotes)
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’s command (Horace Mann Quotes)
It is well when the wise and the learned discover new truths; but how much better to diffuse the truths already discovered amongst the multitudes. Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power; and while a philosopher is discovering one new truth, millions of truths may be propagated amongst the people... The whole land must be watered with the streams of knowledge (Horace Mann Quotes)
Doing nothing for others is the undoing of one’s self. We must be purposely kind and generous, or we miss the best part of existence. The heart that goes out of itself, gets large and full of joy. This is the great secret of the inner life. We do ourselves the most good doing something for others (Horace Mann Quotes)
When the panting and thirsting soul first drinks the delicious waters of truth, when the moral and intellectual tastes and desires first seize the fragrant fruits that flourish in the garden of knowledge, then does the child catch a glimpse and foretaste of heaven (Horace Mann Quotes)
