Horace Mann
Image
It is well to think well it is divine to act well.
Horace Mann
Image
The object of punishment is, prevention from evil it never can be made impulsive to good.

Above all, let the poor hang up the amulet of temperance in their homes.
Horace Mann

He who shuts out truth, by the same act opens the door to all the error that supplies its place.
Horace Mann

Horace Mann
Image
Give me a house furnished with books rather than furniture! Both, if you can, but books at any rate!

Horace Mann
Image
False conclusions which have been reasoned out are infinitely worse than blind impulse.
Horace Mann

The soul of the truly benevolent man does not seem to reside much in his own body. Its life, to a great extent, is a mere reflex of the lives of others. It migrates into their bodies, and identifying its existence with their existence, finds its own happiness in increasing and prolonging their pleasures, in extinguishing or solacing their pains.
Horace Mann
Image
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
Image
When will society, like a mother, take care of all her children?
Horace Mann
Image
Reproof is a medicine, like mercury or opium if it be improperly administered, it will do harm instead of good.
Horace Mann
Image
We do ourselves the most good doing something for others.
Horace Mann
Image
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
Image
We are prone to seek immediate pleasure or good, however small, rather than remote pleasure or good, however vast.
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.
