2. My fav is from Hannah More

But then, I have collected all her works from the early 1800's. She was an amazing author - though some dislike her a lot (she was a Christian and wrote the shepherd of Salisbury plain which I used to have online at hannahmore.com - my web server is dead though...sigh).
