More quotes by Hannah More
Indeed, I have, alas! outlived almost every one of my contemporaries. One pays dear for living long.
Hannah More
Where evil may be done, it is right to ponder where only suffered, know the shortest pause is much too long.
Hannah More
O jealousy, Thou ugliest fiend of hell! thy deadly venom Preys on my vitals, turns the healthful hue Of my flesh check to haggard sallowness, And drinks my spirit up!
Hannah More
Temptation does not make the sin, it lies ready in the heart.
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 soul on earth is an immortal guest.
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
If I wanted to punish an enemy, it should be by fastening on him the trouble of constantly hating somebody.
Hannah More
The soul on earth is an immortal guest, Compelled to starve at an unreal feast: A spark, which upward tends by nature's force: A stream diverted from its parent source A drop dissever'd from the boundless sea A moment, parted from eternity A pilgrim panting for the rest to come An exile, anxious for his native home.
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
Outward attacks and troubles rather fix than unsettle the Christian, as tempests from without only serve to root the oak faster while an inward canker will gradually rot and decay it.
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
Those who want nothing are apt to forget how many there are who want every thing.
Hannah More
Resentment is an evil so costly to our peace that we should find it more cheap to forgive even were it no more right.
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
Names govern the world.
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
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
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.
Hannah More
If we commit any crime, or do any good here, it must be in thought for our words are few and our deeds none at all.
Hannah More
