Hannah More Quotes and Quotations
In grief we know the worst of what we feel, But who can tell the end of what we fear? Imagination frames events unknown, In wild, fantastic shapes of hideous ruin, And what it fears, creates. Going to the opera, like getting drunk, is a sin that carries its own punishment with it and that a very severe one. Prayer is not eloquence, but earnestness; not the definition of helplessness, but the feeling of it; not figures of speech, but earnestness of soul. Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.
