More from Horace Mann
Not the most fertile soil, not mines of silver and gold, can make a nation rich, without intelligence.
He that chooses to employ a sort of labor that yields only half as much to the hand as another sort would yield, makes a choice that is not only unprofitable, but deeply injurious to his interest.
Did the law ever contemplate so cruel and revengeful a proceeding?
But the impious hand of man divorces these twin capacities, wherever it denies knowledge.
