More quotes by Hannah More
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

Hannah More
Temptation does not make the sin, it lies ready in the heart.
Hannah More
It is the large aggregate of small things perpetually occurring that robs me of all my time. The expense of learning to read might have been spared in my education, for I never read.
Hannah More
The keen spirit seizes the prompt occasion.
Hannah More
The world does not require so much to be informed as to be reminded.
Hannah More
That silence is one of the great arts of conversation is allowed by Cicero himself, who says, there is not only an art, but even an eloquence in it
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
People talk as if the act of death made a complete change in the nature, as well as in the condition of man. Death is the vehicle to another state of being, but possesses no power to qualify us for that state. In conveying us to a new world it does not give us a new heart.
Hannah More
