To be good and disagreeable is high treason against the royalty of virtue.
Hannah More
Image
Strange! that what is enjoyed without pleasure cannot be discontinued without pain!
Hannah More
Image
Wisdom views with an indifferent eye all finite joys, all blessings born to die.
Hannah More
Image
The keen spirit Seizes the prompt occasion, makes the thought Start into instant action, and at once Plans and performs, resolves and executes!
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
The soul on earth is an immortal guest, Compelled to starve at an unreal feast: A spark, which upward tends by nature's force: A stream diverted from its parent source A drop dissever'd from the boundless sea A moment, parted from eternity A pilgrim panting for the rest to come An exile, anxious for his native home.
Hannah More
Image
We do not really know how to forgive until we know what it is to be forgiven. Therefore we should be glad that we can be forgiven by others. It is our forgiveness of one another that makes the love of Jesus manifest in our lives, for in forgiving one another we act towards one another as He has acted towards us.
Hannah More
Image
it is the modern nature of goodness to exert itself quietly, while a few characters of the opposite cast seem, by the rumor of their exploits, to fill the world and by their noise to multiply their numbers.
Hannah More
Image
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
Image
Imagination frames events unknown, In wild, fantastic shapes of hideous ruin, And what it fears creates.
Hannah More
Image
If faith produce no works, I see That faith is not a living tree. Thus faith and works together grow, No separate life they never can know. They're soul and body, hand and heart, What God hath joined, let no man part.
Hannah More
Image
I used to wonder why people should be so fond of the company of their physician, till I recollected that he is the only person with whom one dares to talk continually of oneself, without interruption, contradiction or censure I suppose that delightful immunity doubles their fees.
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.
Hannah More
Image
It is a part of Christianity to convert every natural talent to a religious use.
Hannah More
Image
We are apt to mistake our vocation by looking out of the way for occasions to exercise great and rare virtues, and by stepping over the ordinary ones that lie directly in the road before us.
Hannah More
Image
the modes of speech are scarcely more variable than the modes of silence.
Hannah More
Image
Perfect purity, fullness of joy, everlasting freedom, perfect rest, health and fruition, complete security, substantial and eternal good.
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
the uncandid censurer always picks out the worst man of a class, and then confidently produces him as being a fair specimen of it.
