Hannah More

It is not so important to know everything as to know the exact value of everything, to appreciate what we learn, and to arrange what we know.

Genius without religion is only a lamp on the outer gate of a palace; it may serve to cast a gleam on those that are without while the inhabitant sits in darkness.

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 - 1775
Going to the opera, like getting drunk, is a sin that carries its own punishment with it.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.
