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.

More quotes by Horace Mann
In dress, seek the middle between foppery and shabbiness.
Horace Mann
Bodies are cleansed by water the mind is purified by truth.
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
It would be more honourable to our distinguished ancestors to praise them in words less, but in deeds to imitate them more.
Horace Mann
School is the cheapest police.
Horace Mann
As all truth is from God, it necessarily follows that true science and true religion can never be at variance.
Horace Mann
Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone forever.
Horace Mann
The highest service we can perform for others is to help them help themselves.
Horace Mann
A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them. It is a wrong to his family. He cheats them! Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it.
Horace Mann
A teacher should, above all things, first induce a desire in the pupil for the acquisition he wishes to impart.
Horace Mann
Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen.
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
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
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
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
Seek not greatness, but seek truth and you will find both.
Horace Mann
Every event in this world is the effect of some precedent cause, and also the cause of some subsequent effect.
Horace Mann
A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated.
Horace Mann
Unfaithfulness in the keeping of an appointment is an act of clear dishonesty. You may as well borrow a person's money as his time.
Horace Mann
