More from Horace Mann
Out of universal education come genius, skill, and enterprise, and the desire of bettering one’s condition.
The wickedest white man, in a company of slaves, bears a charmed life.
But the impious hand of man divorces these twin capacities, wherever it denies knowledge.
Whoever intercepts knowledge, therefore, on its passage to a human soul; whoever strikes down the hand that is outstretched to grasp it, is guilty of one of the most heinous of offences.
