The Experience Of The Ages That Are Past, The Hopes Of The Ages That Are Yet To Come, Unite Their Voices In An Appeal To Us;– They Implore Us To Think More Of The Character Of Our People Than Of Its Numbers; To Look Upon Our Vast Natural Resources, Not As Tempters To Ostentation And Pride, But As Means To Be Converted By The Refining Alchemy Of Education Into Mental And Spiritual Treasures; ...and Thus Give To The World The Example Of A Nation Whose Wisdom Increases With Its Prosperity, And Whose Virtues Are Equal To Its Power.

The Experience Of The Ages That Are
Horace Mann
The Experience Of The Ages That Are Past, The Hopes Of The Ages That Are Yet To Come, Unite Their Voices In An Appeal To Us;– They Implore Us To Think More Of The Character Of Our People Than Of Its Numbers; To Look Upon Our Vast Natural Resources, Not As Tempters To Ostentation And Pride, But As Means To Be Converted By The Refining Alchemy Of Education Into Mental And Spiritual Treasures; ...and Thus Give To The World The Example Of A Nation Whose Wisdom Increases With Its Prosperity, And Whose Virtues Are Equal To Its Power.
