More quotes by Horace Mann
As all truth is from God, it necessarily follows that true science and true religion can never be at variance.
Horace Mann
Ten men have failed from defect in morals, where one has failed from defect in intellect.
Horace Mann
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
The soul of the truly benevolent man does not seem to reside much in his own body. Its life, to a great extent, is a mere reflex of the lives of others. It migrates into their bodies, and identifying its existence with their existence, finds its own happiness in increasing and prolonging their pleasures, in extinguishing or solacing their pains.
Horace Mann
Education is a capital to the poor man, and an interest to the rich man.
Horace Mann
Keep one thing in view forever- the truth and if you do this, though it may seem to lead you away from the opinion of men, it will assuredly conduct you to the throne of God.
Horace Mann
Genius may conceive but patient labor must consummate.
Horace Mann
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
Man ... has an inborn religious sentiment that whispers of a God to his inmost soul, as a shell taken from the deep yet echoes forever the ocean's roar.
Horace Mann
Willmott has very tersely said that embellished truths are the illuminated alphabet of larger children.
Horace Mann
When you introduce into our schools a spirit of emulation, you have present the keenest spur admissible to the youthful intellect.
Horace Mann
The Chinese have an excellent proverb: Be modest in speech, but excel in action.
Horace Mann
Schoolhouses are the republican line of fortifications.
Horace Mann
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
You may be liberal in your praise where praise is due: it costs nothing it encourages much.
Horace Mann
Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity.
Horace Mann
Love must be the same in all worlds.
Horace Mann
Education is an organic necessity of a human being.
Horace Mann
Be careful never to retire to rest in a room not properly ventilated.
Horace Mann
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
