Avoid witticisms at the expense of others.
Horace Mann
Image
False conclusions which have been reasoned out are infinitely worse than blind impulse.
Horace Mann
Image
As all truth is from God, it necessarily follows that true science and true religion can never be at variance.
Horace Mann
Image
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 a wrong to his family. He cheats them! Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it.
Horace Mann
Image
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
Image
A republican form of government, without intelligence in the people, must be, on a vast scale, what a mad-house, without superintendent or keepers, would be on a small one.
Horace Mann
Image
Every event in this world is the effect of some precedent cause, and also the cause of some subsequent effect.
Horace Mann
Image
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
Image
To pity distress is but human to relieve it is Godlike.
Horace Mann
Image
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
Image
You may be liberal in your praise where praise is due: it costs nothing it encourages much.
Horace Mann
Image
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
Image
I look upon Phrenology as the guide to philosophy and the handmaid of Christianity. Whoever disseminates true Phrenology is a public benefactor.
