More quotes by Horace Mann
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
If you can express yourself so as to be perfectly understood in ten words, never use a dozen.
Horace Mann
New constellations of truth are daily discovered in the firmament of knowledge, and new stars are daily shining forth in each constellation.
Horace Mann
The earth flourishes, or is overrun with noxious weeds and brambles, as we apply or withhold the cultivating hand. So fares it with the intellectual system of man.
Horace Mann
Common sense is better than genius, and hence its bestowment is more universal.
Horace Mann
As all truth is from God, it necessarily follows that true science and true religion can never be at variance.
Horace Mann
Every event in this world is the effect of some precedent cause, and also the cause of some subsequent effect.
Horace Mann
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
NO error is infused into the young mind, to lie there dormant, or to be reproduced only when the subject of thought or action recurs to which the error belongs but the error becomes a model or archetype, after whose likeness the active powers of the mind create a thousand other errors.
Horace Mann
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
Habit can overcome anything but instinct, and can greatly modify even that.
Horace Mann
Be careful never to retire to rest in a room not properly ventilated.
Horace Mann
A teacher should, above all things, first induce a desire in the pupil for the acquisition he wishes to impart.
Horace Mann
Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity.
Horace Mann
The education already given to the people creates the necessity of giving them more.
Horace Mann
You need not tell all the truth, unless to those who have a right to know it but let all you tell be truth.
Horace Mann
It is well to think well it is divine to act well.
Horace Mann
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
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
When the panting and thirsting soul first drinks the delicious waters of truth, when the moral and intellectual tastes and desires first seize the fragrant fruits that flourish in the garden of knowledge, then does the child catch a glimpse and foretaste of heaven.
Horace Mann
