More From Horace Mann

Nay, do not grieve tho' life be full of sadness, dawn will not veil her spleandor for your grief, nor spring deny their bright, appointed beauty to lotus blossom and ashoka leaf. nay, do not pine, tho' life be dark with trouble, time will not pause or tarry on his way; to-day that seems so long, so strange, so bitter, will soon be some forgotten yesterday. nay, do not weep; new hopes, new dreams, new faces, the unspent joy of all the unborn years, will prove your heart a traitor to its sorrow, and make your eyes unfaithful to their tears.

This president has been reluctant to hold anybody accountable. no one was held accountable after september the 11th. nobody's been held accountable after the clear flaws in intelligence leading up to the war in iraq.

When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.
Mean Evil Trying
It [the civil war] was a heroic struggle; and, as is inevitable with all such struggles, it had also a dark and terrible side. very much was done of good, and much also of evil; and, as was inevitable in such a period of revolution, often the same man did both good and evil. for our great good fortune as a nation, we, the people of the united states as a whole, can now afford to forget the evil, or, at least, to remember it without bitterness, and to fix our eyes with pride only on the good that was accomplished.
War Struggle Eye
But my belief is growing that our political and social evils are remediable, if only all of us who want a change for the better just get up and work for it, all the time, with as much knowledge and intelligence as we can muster for it. half the wrongs of human life exist because of the inertia of people who simply will not use their energies in fighting for what they believe in. and finally the wrongs roll up into world catastrophes and millions of deaths and a terrible set-back for all mankind.
Believe Fighting People
Christmas is a time in which, of all times in the year, the memory of every remediable sorrow, wrong, and trouble in the world around us, should be active with us, not less than our own experiences, for all good.

Call a truce, then, to our labors - let us feast with friends and neighbors, and be merry as the custom of our caste; for if ''faint and forced the laughter,'' and if sadness follow after, we are richer by one mocking christmas past.
