More quotes by Horace Mann

Image
You may be liberal in your praise where praise is due: it costs nothing it encourages much.
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
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
But let a man know that there are things to be known, of which he is ignorant, and it is so much carved out of his domain of universal knowledge.
Horace Mann
Image
Every nerve that can thrill with pleasure, can also agonize with pain.
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
In dress, seek the middle between foppery and shabbiness.
Horace Mann
Image
Be careful never to retire to rest in a room not properly ventilated.
Horace Mann
Image
He who shuts out truth, by the same act opens the door to all the error that supplies its place.
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
We do ourselves the most good doing something for others.
Horace Mann
Image
Great books are written for Christianity much oftener than great deeds are done for it. City libraries tell us of the reign of Jesus Christ but city streets tell us of the reign of Satan.
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
If you can express yourself so as to be perfectly understood in ten words, never use a dozen.
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 are prone to seek immediate pleasure or good, however small, rather than remote pleasure or good, however vast.
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
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
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
When you introduce into our schools a spirit of emulation, you have present the keenest spur admissible to the youthful intellect.
