There are only two bad things in this world, sin and bile.
Hannah More
Image
The wretch who digs the mine for bread, or ploughs, that others may be fed, feels less fatigued than that decreed to him who cannot think or read.
Hannah More
Image
O jealousy, Thou ugliest fiend of hell! thy deadly venom Preys on my vitals, turns the healthful hue Of my flesh check to haggard sallowness, And drinks my spirit up!
Hannah More
Image
Strange! that what is enjoyed without pleasure cannot be discontinued without pain!
Hannah More
Image
If I wished to punish my enemy, I should make him hate somebody.
Hannah More
Image
Of two evils, had not an author better be tedious than superficial! From an overflowing vessel you may gather more, indeed, than you want, but from an empty one you can gather nothing.
Hannah More
Image
Youth has a quickness of apprehension, which it is very apt to mistake for an acuteness of penetration.
Hannah More
Image
Who are those ever multiplying authors that with unparalleled fecundity are overstocking the world with their quick succeeding progeny? They are novel-writers.

Hannah More
Image
Everything which relates to God is infinite. We must therefore, while we keep our hearts humble, keep our aims high. Our highest services are indeed but finite, imperfect. But as God is unlimited in goodness, He should have our unlimited love.
Hannah More
Image
The artful injury, whose venomed dart scarce wounds the hearing, while it stabs the heart.
Hannah More
Image
it may be in morals as it is in optics, the eye and the object may come too close to each other, to answer the end of vision. There are certain faults which press too near our self-love to be even perceptible to us.
Hannah More
Image
When thou hast truly thanked the Lord for every blessing sent, But little time will then remain for murmur or lament.
Hannah More
Image
If faith produce no works, I see That faith is not a living tree.
Hannah More
Image
Sweet is the breath of praise when given by those whose own high merit claims the praise they give.
Hannah More
Image
... it is a most severe trial for those women to be called to lay down beauty, who have nothing else to take up. It is for this sober season of life that education should lay up its rich resources.
Hannah More
Image
Long habit so reconciles us to almost any thing, that the grossest improprieties cease to strike us when they once make a part of the common course of action.
Hannah More
Image
What ascends up in prayer descends to us again in blessings. It is like the rain which just now fell, and which had been drawn up from the ground in vapors to the clouds before it descended from them to the earth in that refreshing shower.
Hannah More
Image
People talk as if the act of death made a complete change in the nature, as well as in the condition of man. Death is the vehicle to another state of being, but possesses no power to qualify us for that state. In conveying us to a new world it does not give us a new heart.
Hannah More
Image
I am persuaded that there is no affection of the human heart more exquisitely pure, than that which is felt by a grateful son towards a mother.
