Teachers teach because they care. Teaching young people is what they do best. It requires long hours, patience, and care.
Horace MannIf an idiot were to tell you the same story every day for a year, you would end by believing it.
Horace MannJails 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 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. 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.
