Quote

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
Forgiveness saves the expense of anger.
Hannah More
Image
we contrive to make revenge itself look like religion. We call down thunder on many a head under pretence, that those on whom we invoke it are God's enemies, when perhaps we invoke it because they are ours.

Image
If a young lady has that discretion and modesty without which all knowledge is little worth, she will never make an ostentatious parade of it, because she will rather be intent on acquiring more than on displaying what she has.
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
It is doing some service to humanity, to amuse innocently. They know but little of society who think we can bear to be always employed, either in duties or meditation, without relaxation.
Hannah More
Image
The soul on earth is an immortal guest.
Hannah More
Image
Small habits well pursued betimes May reach the dignity of crimes.
Hannah More
Image
If I wished to punish my enemy, I should make him hate somebody.
Hannah More
Image
Strange! that what is enjoyed without pleasure cannot be discontinued without pain!
Hannah More
Image
eternity is a depth which no geometry can measure, no arithmetic calculate, no imagination conceive, no rhetoric describe.
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.
