Image
There is nothing so costly as ignorance.
Horace Mann
Image
He who cannot resist temptation is not a man.
Horace Mann
Image
Man ... has an inborn religious sentiment that whispers of a God to his inmost soul, as a shell taken from the deep yet echoes forever the ocean's roar.
Horace Mann
Image
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
Image
A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated.
Horace Mann
Image
If you can express yourself so as to be perfectly understood in ten words, never use a dozen.
Horace Mann
Image
Scientific truth is marvelous, but moral truth is divine and whoever breathes its air and walks by its light has found the lost paradise.
Horace Mann
Image
Ideality is the avant-courier of the mind.
Horace Mann
Image
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
Image
Above all, let the poor hang up the amulet of temperance in their homes.
Horace Mann
Image
A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.
Horace Mann
Image
A teacher should, above all things, first induce a desire in the pupil for the acquisition he wishes to impart.
Horace Mann
Image
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
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
There is nothing derogatory in any employment which ministers to the well-being of the race. It is the spirit that is carried into an employment that elevates or degrades it.
Horace Mann
Image
When a child can be brought to tears, not from fear of punishment, but from repentance for his offence, he needs no chastisement. When the tears begin to flow from grief at one's own conduct, be sure there is an angel nestling in the bosom.
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
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
Education must bring the practice as nearly as possible to the theory. As the children now are, so will the sovereigns soon be.
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.
