Horace Mann
 American educator

| “ | Character is what God and the angels know of us; reputation is what men and women think of us. | ” |
| “ | Do not think of knocking out another person's brains because he differs in opinion from you. It would be as rational to knock yourself on the head because you differ from yourself ten years ago. | ” |
| “ | Resolve to edge in a little reading every day, if it is but a single sentence. If you gain fifteen minutes a day, it will make itself felt at the end of the year.
| ” |
| “ | To pity distress is but human; to relieve it is Godlike. | ” |
| “ | Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.
address at Antioch College, 1859 | ” |
