Commending a right thing is a cheap substitute for doing it, with which we are too apt to satisfy ourselves.
Hannah More
Small habits well pursued betimes May reach the dignity of crimes.
Hannah More
If I wished to punish my enemy, I should make him hate somebody.
Hannah More
Who are those ever multiplying authors that with unparalleled fecundity are overstocking the world with their quick succeeding progeny? They are novel-writers.
Hannah More

Hannah More
How much it is to be regretted, that the British ladies should ever sit down contented to polish, when they are able to reform to entertain, when they might instruct and to dazzle for an hour, when they are candidates for eternity!
Hannah More
Anger is a violent act, envy a constant habit - no one can be always angry, but he may be always envious.

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
nothing is more common than to mistake the sign for the thing itself nor is any practice more frequent than that of endeavoring to acquire the exterior mark, without once thinking to labor after the interior grace.
Hannah More
He who has once taken to drink can seldom be said to be guilty of one sin only.
Hannah More
Forgiveness saves the expense of anger.
Hannah More
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
Since trifles make the sum of human things, And half our misery from our foibles springs.
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
Life though a short, is a working day. Activity may lead to evil but inactivity cannot be led to good.
Hannah More
Did not God Sometimes withhold in mercy what we ask, We should be ruined at our own request.
Hannah More
Sweet is the breath of praise when given by those whose own high merit claims the praise they give.
Hannah More
