Horace Mann Quote
 | “Jails 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 Mann Source/Notes: As quoted in Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (1881) |
| “Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves. We must purposely be kind and generous, or we miss the best part of existence. The heart which goes out of itself gets large and full. This is the great secret of the inner life. We do ourselves the most good doing something for others.” ―Horace Mann Source/Notes: Quoted in Thoughts (1901) by Jessie K. Freeman and Sarah S. B. Yule, p. 83, and in Collect Writings of Russell H. Conwell (1925), Vol. 1, p. 396 |
