Quote

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.

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
Life though a short, is a working day. Activity may lead to evil but inactivity cannot be led to good.
Hannah More
Image
If I wished to punish my enemy, I should make him hate somebody.
Hannah More
Image
Our infinite obligations to God do not fill our hearts half as much as a petty uneasiness of our own nor His infinite perfections as much as our smallest wants.
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.
