More quotes by 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
A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated.
Horace Mann
Knowledge has its boundary line, where it abuts on ignorance on the outside of that boundary line are ignorance and miracles on the inside of it are science and no miracles.
Horace Mann
Education is an organic necessity of a human being.
Horace Mann
When you introduce into our schools a spirit of emulation, you have present the keenest spur admissible to the youthful intellect.
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
New constellations of truth are daily discovered in the firmament of knowledge, and new stars are daily shining forth in each constellation.
Horace Mann
Teachers teach because they care. Teaching young people is what they do best. It requires long hours, patience, and care.
Horace Mann
Avoid witticisms at the expense of others.
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
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
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
Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power.
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
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
Every nerve that can thrill with pleasure, can also agonize with pain.
Horace Mann
Above all, let the poor hang up the amulet of temperance in their homes.
Horace Mann
In dress, seek the middle between foppery and shabbiness.
Horace Mann
Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery.
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
