Horace Mann Teaching Quotations

Teachers teach because they care. Teaching young people is what they do best. It requires long hours, patience, and care.

The pulpit only "teaches" to be honest; the market-place "trains" to overreaching and fraud; and teaching has not a tithe of the efficiency of training. Christ never wrote a tract, but He went about doing good.

Great knowledge is requisite to instruct those who have been well instructed, but still greater knowledge is requisite to instruct those who have been neglected.

A teacher should, above all things, first induce a desire in the pupil for the acquisition he wishes to impart.

Teaching isn't one-tenth as effective as training.
