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.

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
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
Anger is a violent act, envy a constant habit - no one can be always angry, but he may be always envious.
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
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
... 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
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
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
