Quote

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
Resentment is an evil so costly to our peace that we should find it more cheap to forgive even were it no more right.
Hannah More
Image
we live in an age which must be amused, though genius, feeling, trust, and principle be the sacrifice.
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.

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
My plan of instruction is extremely simple and limited. They learn, on week-days, such coarse works as may fit them for servants. I allow of no writing for the poor. My object is not to make fanatics, but to train up the lower classes in habits of industry and piety.

Hannah More
Image
Affliction is a sort of moral gymnasium in which the disciples of Christ are trained to robust exercise, hardy exertion, and severe conflict.
Hannah More
Image
Prayer is not eloquence, but earnestness not the definition of helplessness, but the feeling of it not figures of speech, but earnestness of soul.
Hannah More
Image
Temptation does not make the sin, it lies ready in the heart.
Hannah More
Image
If faith produce no works, I see That faith is not a living tree.
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
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
Repentance is not completed by a single act, it must be incorporated into our mind, till it become a fixed state, arising from a continual sense of our need of it.
