More quotes by Hannah More
If I wished to punish my enemy, I should make him hate somebody.
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
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
Indeed, I have, alas! outlived almost every one of my contemporaries. One pays dear for living long.
Hannah More
It is an excellent sign, that after the cares and labors of the day, you can return to your pious exercises and meditations with undiminished attention.
Hannah More
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
Pleasure is by much the most laborious trade I know, especially for those who have not a vocation to it.
Hannah More
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
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
The soul on earth is an immortal guest.
Hannah More
Gentleness is the outgrowth of benignity.
Hannah More
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
Life though a short, is a working day. Activity may lead to evil but inactivity cannot be led to good.
Hannah More
Perfect purity, fullness of joy, everlasting freedom, perfect rest, health and fruition, complete security, substantial and eternal good.
Hannah More
Where evil may be done, it is right to ponder where only suffered, know the shortest pause is much too long.
Hannah More
Of two evils, had not an author better be tedious than superficial! From an overflowing vessel you may gather more, indeed, than you want, but from an empty one you can gather nothing.
Hannah More
When thou hast truly thanked the Lord for every blessing sent, But little time will then remain for murmur or lament.
Hannah More
Forgiveness is the economy of the heart... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.
Hannah More
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
Oh! the joy Of young ideas painted on the mind, In the warm glowing colors fancy spreads On objects not yet known, when all is new, And all is lovely.
Hannah More
