Image
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
Image
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

Hannah More
Image
Sweet is the breath of praise when given by those whose own high merit claims the praise they give.
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.

Luxury! more perilous to youth than storms or quicksand, poverty or chains.
Hannah More
Image
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.
