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
Image
Commending a right thing is a cheap substitute for doing it, with which we are too apt to satisfy ourselves.
Hannah More
Image
Strange! that what is enjoyed without pleasure cannot be discontinued without pain!
Hannah More

Hannah More
Image
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.
