More quotes by Horace Mann
When a child can be brought to tears, not from fear of punishment, but from repentance for his offence, he needs no chastisement. When the tears begin to flow from grief at one's own conduct, be sure there is an angel nestling in the bosom.
Horace Mann
There is nothing so costly as ignorance.
Horace Mann
A teacher should, above all things, first induce a desire in the pupil for the acquisition he wishes to impart.
Horace Mann
Ignorance breeds monsters to fill up the vacancies of the soul that are unoccupied by the verities of knowledge.
Horace Mann
The highest service we can perform for others is to help them help themselves.
Horace Mann
Jails and prisons are the complement of schools so many less as you have of the latter, so many more must you have of the former.
Horace Mann
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
Even the choicest literature should be taken as the condiment, and not as the sustenance of life. It should be neither the warp nor the woof of existence, but only the flowery edging upon its borders.
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
It would be more honourable to our distinguished ancestors to praise them in words less, but in deeds to imitate them more.
Horace Mann
Habit can overcome anything but instinct, and can greatly modify even that.
Horace Mann
One thing I certainly never was made for, and that is to put principles on and off at the dictation of a party, as a lackey changes his livery at his master's command.
Horace Mann
Schoolhouses are the republican line of fortifications.
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
Reproof is a medicine, like mercury or opium if it be improperly administered, it will do harm instead of good.
Horace Mann
Seek not greatness, but seek truth and you will find both.
Horace Mann
If an idiot were to tell you the same story every day for a year, you would end by believing it.
Horace Mann
Under the Providence of God, our means of education are the grand machinery by which the 'raw material' of human nature can be worked up into inventors and discoverers, into skilled artisans and scientific farmers, into scholars and jurists, into the founders of benevolent institutions, and the great expounders of ethical and theological science.
Horace Mann
Love must be the same in all worlds.
Horace Mann
We conceive of immortality as having a beginning, but no end but we conceive of eternity as having neither beginning nor end. Hence it is proper to speak of eternity as the attribute of God, but of immortality as the attribute of man.
Horace Mann
