Image
Injustice alone can shake down the pillars of the skies, and restore the reign of Chaos and Night.
Horace Mann
Image
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
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
A teacher should, above all things, first induce a desire in the pupil for the acquisition he wishes to impart.
Horace Mann
Image
Education is a capital to the poor man, and an interest to the rich man.
Horace Mann
Image
A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them. It is a wrong to his family. He cheats them! Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it.
Horace Mann
Image
There is nothing so costly as ignorance.
Horace Mann
Image
Bodies are cleansed by water the mind is purified by truth.
Horace Mann
Image
When will society, like a mother, take care of all her children?
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
Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone forever.
Horace Mann
Image
The highest service we can perform for others is to help them help themselves.
Horace Mann
Image
Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen.
Horace Mann
Image
Patient perseverance in well doing is infinitely harder than a sudden and impulsive self-sacrifice.
Horace Mann
Image
School is the cheapest police.
Horace Mann
Image
The living soul of man, once conscious of its power, cannot be quelled.
Horace Mann
Image
Be careful never to retire to rest in a room not properly ventilated.
Horace Mann
Image
Enslave a man and you destroy his ambition, his enterprise, his capacity. In the constitution of human nature, the desire of bettering one's condition is the mainspring of effort. The first touch of slavery snaps this spring.
Horace Mann
Image
We do ourselves the most good doing something for others.
Horace Mann
Image
It would be more honourable to our distinguished ancestors to praise them in words less, but in deeds to imitate them more.
