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.

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
We have employments assigned to us for every circumstance in life. When we are alone, we have our thoughts to watch in the family, our tempers and in company, our tongues.
Hannah More
Image
Yes, thou art ever present, power divine not circumscribed by time, nor fixed by space, confined to altars, nor to temples bound. In wealth, in want, in freedom, or in chains, in dungeons or on thrones, the faithful find thee.
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

The secret heart is fair devotion's temple there the saint, even on that living altar, lights the flame of purest sacrifice, which burns unseen, not unaccepted.
Hannah More
Image
The artful injury, whose venomed dart scarce wounds the hearing, while it stabs the heart.
Hannah More
Image
Forgiveness saves the expense of anger.
Hannah More
Image
Commending a right thing is a cheap substitute for doing it, with which we are too apt to satisfy ourselves.
Hannah More
Image
Anger is the common refuge of insignificance. People who feel their character to be slight, hope to give it weight by inflation: but the blown bladder at its fullest distention is still empty.
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.
Hannah More
Image
Gentleness is the outgrowth of benignity.
Hannah More
Image
Temptation does not make the sin, it lies ready in the heart.
Hannah More
Image
oblivion has been noticed as the offspring of silence.
Hannah More
Image
He who has once taken to drink can seldom be said to be guilty of one sin only.
Hannah More
Image
The abuse of terms has at all times been an evil.
