Hannah More
He who has once taken to drink can seldom be said to be guilty of one sin only.
Hannah More
One kernel is felt in a hogshead one drop of water helps to swell the ocean a spark of fire helps to give light to the world. None are too small, too feeble, too poor to be of service. Think of this and act.
Hannah More

Hannah More
A crown! what is it? It is to bear the miseries of a people! To hear their murmurs, feel their discontents, And sink beneath a load of splendid care!
Hannah More

Hannah More
Anger is a violent act, envy a constant habit - no one can be always angry, but he may be always envious.
Hannah More
How much it is to be regretted, that the British ladies should ever sit down contented to polish, when they are able to reform to entertain, when they might instruct and to dazzle for an hour, when they are candidates for eternity!
Hannah More
It is the large aggregate of small things perpetually occurring that robs me of all my time. The expense of learning to read might have been spared in my education, for I never read.
Hannah More
The abuse of terms has at all times been an evil.
Hannah More
Small habits well pursued betimes May reach the dignity of crimes.
Hannah More
If I wished to punish my enemy, I should make him hate somebody.
Hannah More
Gentleness is the outgrowth of benignity.
Hannah More
