More quotes by Hannah More
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
Going to the opera, like getting drunk, is a sin that carries its own punishment with it.
Hannah More
Sweet is the breath of praise when given by those whose own high merit claims the praise they give.
Hannah More
Proportion and propriety are among the best secrets of domestic wisdom and there is no surer test of integrity than a well-proportioned expenditure.
Hannah More
The roses of pleasure seldom last long enough to adorn the brow of him who plucks them for they are the only roses which do not retain their sweetness after they have lost their beauty.
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
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
He who has once taken to drink can seldom be said to be guilty of one sin only.
Hannah More
... it is a most severe trial for those women to be called to lay down beauty, who have nothing else to take up. It is for this sober season of life that education should lay up its rich resources.
Hannah More
Small habits well pursued betimes May reach the dignity of crimes.
Hannah More
Names govern the world.
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
The artful injury, whose venomed dart scarce wounds the hearing, while it stabs the heart.
Hannah More
The world does not require so much to be informed as to be reminded.
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
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
Luxury! more perilous to youth than storms or quicksand, poverty or chains.
Hannah More
I am persuaded that there is no affection of the human heart more exquisitely pure, than that which is felt by a grateful son towards a mother.
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
