If any man seeks for greatness, let him forget greatness and ask for truth, and he will find both.
Horace MannA 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.
Horace MannWillmott has very tersely said that embellished truths are the illuminated alphabet of larger children.
Horace MannThe most formidable attribute of temptation is its increasing power, its accelerating ratio of velocity. Every act of repetition increases power, diminishes resistance. It is like the letting out of waters-where a drop can go, a river can go. Whoever yields to temptation, subjects himself to the law of falling bodies.
