Horace Mann Mind Quotations

Those who exert the first influence upon the mind have the greatest power.

Astronomy is one of the sublimest fields of human investigation. The mind that grasps its facts and principles receives something of the enlargement and grandeur belonging to the science itself. It is a quickener of devotion.

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.

Ideality is the avant-courier of the mind.

Bodies are cleansed by water; the mind is purified by truth.
