More quotes by Horace Mann
Let us labor for that larger comprehension of truth, and that more thorough repudiation of error, which shall make the history of mankind a series of ascending developments.
Horace Mann
After a child has arrived at the legal age for attending school,-whether he be the child of noble or of peasant,-the only two absolute grounds of exemption from attendance are sickness and death.
Horace Mann
The living soul of man, once conscious of its power, cannot be quelled.
Horace Mann
Knowledge is but an instrument, which the profligate and the flagitious may use as well as the brave and the just.
Horace Mann
As all truth is from God, it necessarily follows that true science and true religion can never be at variance.
Horace Mann
Manners are the root, laws only the trunk and branches. Manners are the archetypes of laws. Manners are laws in their infancy laws are manners fully grown,--or, manners are children, which, when they grow up, become laws.
Horace Mann
Ideality is the avant-courier of the mind.
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
To know the machine one must know where each part belongs, and what its office is.
Horace Mann
NO error is infused into the young mind, to lie there dormant, or to be reproduced only when the subject of thought or action recurs to which the error belongs but the error becomes a model or archetype, after whose likeness the active powers of the mind create a thousand other errors.
Horace Mann
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
The pulpit only teaches to be honest the market-place trains to overreaching and fraud and teaching has not a tithe of the efficiency of training. Christ never wrote a tract, but He went about doing good.
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 is improvable. Some people think he is only a machine, and that the only difference between a man and a mill is, that one is carried by blood and the other by water.
Horace Mann
The object of punishment is, prevention from evil it never can be made impulsive to good.
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
It is well to think well it is divine to act well.
Horace Mann
In trying to teach children a great deal in a short time, they are treated not as though the race they were to run was for life, but simply a three-mile heat.
Horace Mann
The education already given to the people creates the necessity of giving them more.
Horace Mann
Education is an organic necessity of a human being.
Horace Mann
