Horace Mann

Horace Mann
Image
Benevolence is a world of itself -- a world which mankind, as yet, have hardly begun to explore. We have, as it were, only skirted along its coasts for a few leagues, without penetrating the recesses, or gathering the riches of its vast interior.
Horace Mann
Image
Seek not greatness, but seek truth and you will find both.
Horace Mann
Image
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
Image
A teacher should, above all things, first induce a desire in the pupil for the acquisition he wishes to impart.
Horace Mann
Image
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
Image
In dress, seek the middle between foppery and shabbiness.
Horace Mann
Image
Love must be the same in all worlds.
Horace Mann
Image
Injustice alone can shake down the pillars of the skies, and restore the reign of Chaos and Night.
Horace Mann
Image
If you wish to write well, study the life about you,--life in the public streets.
Horace Mann
Image
A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated.
Horace Mann
