More quotes by Horace Mann

Image
He who shuts out truth, by the same act opens the door to all the error that supplies its place.
Horace Mann
Image
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
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
He who cannot resist temptation is not a man.
Horace Mann
Image
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
Image
Superiority to circumstances is one of the most prominent characteristics of great men.
Horace Mann
Image
Ten men have failed from defect in morals, where one has failed from defect in intellect.
Horace Mann

Ideality is the avant-courier of the mind.
Horace Mann
Image
Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity.
Horace Mann
Image
But let a man know that there are things to be known, of which he is ignorant, and it is so much carved out of his domain of universal knowledge.
Horace Mann
Image
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
Image
Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery.
Horace Mann
Image
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
Image
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
Image
You need not tell all the truth, unless to those who have a right to know it but let all you tell be truth.
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
As all truth is from God, it necessarily follows that true science and true religion can never be at variance.
Horace Mann
Image
We go by the major vote, and if the majority are insane, the sane must go to the hospital.
Horace Mann
Image
Education is a capital to the poor man, and an interest to the rich man.
Horace Mann
Image
Willmott has very tersely said that embellished truths are the illuminated alphabet of larger children.
