More quotes by Horace Mann
Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power.
Horace Mann
He who cannot resist temptation is not a man. Whoever yields to temptation debases himself with a debasement from which he can never arise.
Horace Mann
A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated.
Horace Mann
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
No combatants are so unequally matched as when one is shackled with error, while the other rejoices in the self-demonstrability of truth.
Horace Mann
Above all, let the poor hang up the amulet of temperance in their homes.
Horace Mann
Genius may conceive but patient labor must consummate.
Horace Mann
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
A teacher should, above all things, first induce a desire in the pupil for the acquisition he wishes to impart.
Horace Mann
False conclusions which have been reasoned out are infinitely worse than blind impulse.
Horace Mann
Education is a capital to the poor man, and an interest to the rich man.
Horace Mann
You may be liberal in your praise where praise is due: it costs nothing it encourages much.
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
Willmott has very tersely said that embellished truths are the illuminated alphabet of larger children.
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
Man is improvable. Some people think he is only a machine, and that the only difference between a man and a mill is, that one is carried by blood and the other by water.
Horace Mann
Give me a house furnished with books rather than furniture! Both, if you can, but books at any rate!
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
Knowledge is but an instrument, which the profligate and the flagitious may use as well as the brave and the just.
Horace Mann
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
