More quotes by Hannah More
If faith produce no works, I see That faith is not a living tree. Thus faith and works together grow, No separate life they never can know. They're soul and body, hand and heart, What God hath joined, let no man part.
Hannah More
Names govern the world.
Hannah More
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.
Hannah More
Commending a right thing is a cheap substitute for doing it, with which we are too apt to satisfy ourselves.
Hannah More
the uncandid censurer always picks out the worst man of a class, and then confidently produces him as being a fair specimen of it.
Hannah More
The constant habit of perusing devout books is so indispensable, that it has been termed the oil of the lamp of prayer. Too much reading, however, and too little meditation, may produce the effect of a lamp inverted which is extinguished by the very excess of that ailment, whose property is to feed it.

If I wanted to punish an enemy, it should be by fastening on him the trouble of constantly hating somebody.
Hannah More
If faith produce no works, I see That faith is not a living tree.
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
Goals help you overcome short-term problems.
Hannah More
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
Strange! that what is enjoyed without pleasure cannot be discontinued without pain!
Hannah More
Wisdom views with an indifferent eye all finite joys, all blessings born to die.
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
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
Rage is for little wrongs despair is dumb.
Hannah More
Sweet is the breath of praise when given by those whose own high merit claims the praise they give.
Hannah More
The wretch who digs the mine for bread, or ploughs, that others may be fed, feels less fatigued than that decreed to him who cannot think or read.
Hannah More
Imagination frames events unknown, In wild, fantastic shapes of hideous ruin, And what it fears creates.
Hannah More
The world does not require so much to be informed as to be reminded.
Hannah More
