More quotes by Hannah More
In men this blunder still you find all think their little set mankind.
Hannah More
The keen spirit Seizes the prompt occasion, makes the thought Start into instant action, and at once Plans and performs, resolves and executes!
Hannah More
People talk as if the act of death made a complete change in the nature, as well as in the condition of man. Death is the vehicle to another state of being, but possesses no power to qualify us for that state. In conveying us to a new world it does not give us a new heart.
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
Glory darts her soul-pervading ray on thrones and cottages, regardless still of all the artificial nice distinctions vain human customs make.
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
Life though a short, is a working day. Activity may lead to evil but inactivity cannot be led to good.
Hannah More
Our infinite obligations to God do not fill our hearts half as much as a petty uneasiness of our own nor His infinite perfections as much as our smallest wants.
Hannah More
The world does not require so much to be informed as to be reminded.
Hannah More
If I wished to punish my enemy, I should make him hate somebody.
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.
Hannah More
What ascends up in prayer descends to us again in blessings. It is like the rain which just now fell, and which had been drawn up from the ground in vapors to the clouds before it descended from them to the earth in that refreshing shower.
Hannah More
Names govern the world.
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
Repentance is not completed by a single act, it must be incorporated into our mind, till it become a fixed state, arising from a continual sense of our need of it.
Hannah More
One kernel is felt in a hogshead one drop of water helps to swell the ocean a spark of fire helps to give light to the world. None are too small, too feeble, too poor to be of service. Think of this and act.
Hannah More
The soul on earth is an immortal guest.
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
The keen spirit seizes the prompt occasion.
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
