As all truth is from God, it necessarily follows that true science and true religion can never be at variance.
Horace Mann
Image
Seek not greatness, but seek truth and you will find both.
Horace Mann
Image
If ever there was a cause, if ever there can be a cause, worthy to be upheld by all of toil or sacrifice that the human heart can endure, it is the cause of Education.
Horace Mann
Image
The object of punishment is, prevention from evil it never can be made impulsive to good.
Horace Mann
Image
Of all rights which command attention at the present time among us, woman's rights seem to take precedence.
Horace Mann
Image
In dress, seek the middle between foppery and shabbiness.
Horace Mann

Manners easily and rapidly mature into morals.
Horace Mann
Image
Ignorance breeds monsters to fill up the vacancies of the soul that are unoccupied by the verities of knowledge.
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
Avoid witticisms at the expense of others.
Horace Mann
Image
Knowledge has its boundary line, where it abuts on ignorance on the outside of that boundary line are ignorance and miracles on the inside of it are science and no miracles.
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
We conceive of immortality as having a beginning, but no end but we conceive of eternity as having neither beginning nor end. Hence it is proper to speak of eternity as the attribute of God, but of immortality as the attribute of man.
Horace Mann
Image
Under the Providence of God, our means of education are the grand machinery by which the 'raw material' of human nature can be worked up into inventors and discoverers, into skilled artisans and scientific farmers, into scholars and jurists, into the founders of benevolent institutions, and the great expounders of ethical and theological science.
Horace Mann
Image
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
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
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
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
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
When will society, like a mother, take care of all her children?
