"A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated." ― Horace Mann Topic(s): Education More From 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." "Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity." "Generosity during life is a very different thing from generosity in the hour of death; one proceeds from genuine liberality and benevolence, the other from pride or fear." More In Education "The relationship of the two problems is rather the reverse. To a great extent disarmament is dependent on guarantees of peace. Security comes first and disarmament second."― Ludwig Quidde "Nature has always had more force than education."― Voltaire "Yes’m, old friends is always best, ‘less you can catch a new one that’s fit to make an old one out of."― Sarah Orne Jewett
