Hannah More
Image

Hannah More
Image

Hannah More
Image
Wisdom views with an indifferent eye all finite joys, all blessings born to die.

Hannah More
Image
There are only two bad things in this world, sin and bile.
Hannah More
Image
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
Image
It is an excellent sign, that after the cares and labors of the day, you can return to your pious exercises and meditations with undiminished attention.
Hannah More
Image
oblivion has been noticed as the offspring of silence.
Hannah More
Image
The wretch who digs the mine for bread, or ploughs, that others may be fed, feels less fatigued than that decreed to him who cannot think or read.
Hannah More
Image
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
Image
A slowness to applaud betrays a cold temper or an envious spirit.
Hannah More
Image
we contrive to make revenge itself look like religion. We call down thunder on many a head under pretence, that those on whom we invoke it are God's enemies, when perhaps we invoke it because they are ours.
Hannah More
