A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.
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
Schoolhouses are the republican line of fortifications.
Horace Mann
Image
Every event in this world is the effect of some precedent cause, and also the cause of some subsequent effect.
Horace Mann
Image
The highest service we can perform for others is to help them help themselves.
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
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.
