More quotes by Hannah More
In men this blunder still you find all think their little set mankind.
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
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
Goals help you overcome short-term problems.
Hannah More
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
Sweet is the breath of praise when given by those whose own high merit claims the praise they give.
Hannah More
Forgiveness is the economy of the heart... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.
Hannah More
Commending a right thing is a cheap substitute for doing it, with which we are too apt to satisfy ourselves.
Hannah More
Wisdom views with an indifferent eye all finite joys, all blessings born to die.
Hannah More
Proportion and propriety are among the best secrets of domestic wisdom and there is no surer test of integrity than a well-proportioned expenditure.
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
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
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
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
If I wanted to punish an enemy, it should be by fastening on him the trouble of constantly hating somebody.
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
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
If a young lady has that discretion and modesty without which all knowledge is little worth, she will never make an ostentatious parade of it, because she will rather be intent on acquiring more than on displaying what she has.
Hannah More
The abuse of terms has at all times been an evil.
Hannah More
He who has once taken to drink can seldom be said to be guilty of one sin only.
Hannah More
