More quotes by 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
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
Teachers teach because they care. Teaching young people is what they do best. It requires long hours, patience, and care.
Horace Mann
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
Give me a house furnished with books rather than furniture! Both, if you can, but books at any rate!
Horace Mann
To know the machine one must know where each part belongs, and what its office is.
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
No combatants are so unequally matched as when one is shackled with error, while the other rejoices in the self-demonstrability of truth.
Horace Mann
Unfaithfulness in the keeping of an appointment is an act of clear dishonesty. You may as well borrow a person's money as his time.
Horace Mann
Bodies are cleansed by water the mind is purified by truth.
Horace Mann
Be careful never to retire to rest in a room not properly ventilated.
Horace Mann
The Chinese have an excellent proverb: Be modest in speech, but excel in action.
Horace Mann
Above all, let the poor hang up the amulet of temperance in their homes.
Horace Mann
Biography, especially of the great and good, who have risen by their own exertions to eminence and usefulness, is an inspiring and ennobling study. Its direct tendency is to reproduce the excellence it records.
Horace Mann
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
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
Every event in this world is the effect of some precedent cause, and also the cause of some subsequent effect.
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
As each generation comes into the world devoid of knowledge, its first duty is to obtain possession of the stores already amassed. It must overtake its predecessors before it can pass by them.
Horace Mann
One thing I certainly never was made for, and that is to put principles on and off at the dictation of a party, as a lackey changes his livery at his master's command.
