Hannah More Quotes

Going to the opera, like getting drunk, is a sin that carries its own punishment with it Picture Quote #1

Man can see his reflection in water only when he bends down close to it, and the heart of man, too, must lean down to the heart of his fellow; then it will see itself within his heart Picture Quote #1

It is doing some service to humanity, to amuse innocently. They know but little of society who think we can bear to be always employed, either in duties or meditation, without relaxation Picture Quote #1

Life though a short, is a working day. Activity may lead to evil; but inactivity cannot be led to good Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When thou hast truly thanked the lord for every blessing sent, but little time will then remain for murmur or lament Picture Quote #1

Imagination frames events unknown, In wild, fantastic shapes of hideous ruin, And what it fears creates Picture Quote #1

Did not God sometimes withhold in mercy what we ask, we should be ruined at our own request Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We are apt to mistake our vocation by looking out of the way for occasions to exercise great and rare virtues, and by stepping over the ordinary ones that lie directly in the road before us Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

After all that corrupt poets, and more corrupt philosophers, have told us of the blandishments of pleasure, and of its tendency to soften the temper and humanize the affections, it is certain, that nothing hardens the heart like excessive and unbounded luxury; and he who refuses the fewest gratifications to his own voluptuousness, will generally be found the least susceptible of tenderness for the wants of others Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

He who has once taken to drink can seldom be said to be guilty of one sin only Picture Quote #1

Anger is the common refuge of insignificance. People who feel their character to be slight, hope to give it weight by inflation: but the blown bladder at its fullest distention is still empty Picture Quote #1

The uncandid censurer always picks out the worst man of a class, and then confidently produces him as being a fair specimen of it Picture Quote #1

We do not so much want books for good people, as books which will make bad ones better Picture Quote #1

It is the large aggregate of small things perpetually occurring that robs me of all my time. The expense of learning to read might have been spared in my education, for I never read Picture Quote #1

Those who want nothing are apt to forget how many there are who want every thing Picture Quote #1

It is a sober truth that people who live only to amuse themselves work harder at the task than most people do in earning their daily bread Picture Quote #1

We live in an age which must be amused, though genius, feeling, trust, and principle be the sacrifice Picture Quote #1

Eternity is a depth which no geometry can measure, no arithmetic calculate, no imagination conceive, no rhetoric describe Picture Quote #1

Indeed, I have, alas! outlived almost every one of my contemporaries. One pays dear for living long Picture Quote #1
