More quotes by Horace Mann
We who are engaged in the sacred cause of education are entitled to look upon all parents as having given hostages to our cause.
Horace Mann
We go by the major vote, and if the majority are insane, the sane must go to the hospital.
Horace Mann
Under the Providence of God, our means of education are the grand machinery by which the 'raw material' of human nature can be worked up into inventors and discoverers, into skilled artisans and scientific farmers, into scholars and jurists, into the founders of benevolent institutions, and the great expounders of ethical and theological science.
Horace Mann
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

Horace Mann
Education is an organic necessity of a human being.
Horace Mann

Horace Mann
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
He who cannot resist temptation is not a man.
Horace Mann
False conclusions which have been reasoned out are infinitely worse than blind impulse.
Horace Mann
A teacher should, above all things, first induce a desire in the pupil for the acquisition he wishes to impart.
Horace Mann
Benevolence is a world of itself -- a world which mankind, as yet, have hardly begun to explore. We have, as it were, only skirted along its coasts for a few leagues, without penetrating the recesses, or gathering the riches of its vast interior.
Horace Mann
Willmott has very tersely said that embellished truths are the illuminated alphabet of larger children.
Horace Mann
Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power.
Horace Mann
If you wish to write well, study the life about you,--life in the public streets.
Horace Mann
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
When will society, like a mother, take care of all her children?
