Ignorance breeds monsters to fill up the vacancies of the soul that are unoccupied by the verities of knowledge.
More Quotes from Horace Mann:
Habit is a cable we weave a thread each day, and at last we cannot break it.Horace Mann
The experience of the ages that are past, the hopes of the ages that are yet to come, unite their voices in an appeal to us they implore us to think more of the character of our people than of its vast numbers to look upon our vast natural resources, not as tempters to ostentation and pride, but as means to be converted, by the refining alchemy of education, into mental and spiritual treasuresand thus give to the world the example of a nation whose wisdom increases with its prosperity, and whose virtues are equal to its power.
Horace Mann
It is well when the wise and the learned discover new truths but how much better to diffuse the truths already discovered amongst the multitudes. Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power and while a philosopher is discovering one new truth, millions of truths may be propagated amongst the people.... The whole land must be watered with the streams of knowledge.
Horace Mann
