The look of a gentleman is little else than the reflection of the looks of the world (William Hazlitt Quotes)
The objects that we have known in better days are the main props that sustain the weight of our affections, and give us strength to await our future lot (William Hazlitt Quotes)
Weakness has its hidden resources, as well as strength. There is a degree of folly and meanness which we cannot calculate upon, and by which we are as much liable to be foiled as by the greatest ability or courage (William Hazlitt Quotes)
A knave thinks himself a fool, all the time he is not making a fool of some other person (William Hazlitt Quotes)
The chain of habit coils itself around the heart like a serpent, to gnaw and stifle it (William Hazlitt Quotes)
We are governed by sympathy; and the extent of our sympathy is determined by that of our sensibility (William Hazlitt Quotes)
I am always afraid of a fool. One cannot be sure that he is not a knave as well (William Hazlitt Quotes)
Habitual liars invent falsehoods not to gain any end or even to deceive their hearers, but to amuse themselves. It is partly practice and partly habit. It requires an effort in them to speak truth (William Hazlitt Quotes)
Those people who are always improving never become great. Greatness is an eminence, the ascent to which is steep and lofty, and which a man must seize on at once by natural boldness and vigor, and not by patient, wary steps (William Hazlitt Quotes)
The mind of man is like a clock that is always running down, and requires to be constantly wound up (William Hazlitt Quotes)
To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living (William Hazlitt Quotes)
Without the aid of prejudice and custom, I should not be able to find my way across the room (William Hazlitt Quotes)
Let a man’s talents or virtues be what they may, he will only feel satisfaction in his society as he is satisfied in himself (William Hazlitt Quotes)
Or have I passed my time in pouring words like water into empty sieves, rolling a stone up a hill and then down again, trying to prove an argument in the teeth of facts, and looking for causes in the dark, and not finding them? (William Hazlitt Quotes)
We are never so much disposed to quarrel with others as when we are dissatisfied with ourselves (William Hazlitt Quotes)
In some situations, if you say nothing, you are called dull; if you talk, you are thought impertinent and arrogant. It is hard to know what to do in this case. The question seems to be, whether your vanity or your prudence predominates (William Hazlitt Quotes)
The world loves to be amused by hollow professions, to be deceived by flattering appearances, to live in a state of hallucination; and can forgive everything but the plain, downright, simple, honest truth (William Hazlitt Quotes)
I like a person who knows his own mind and sticks to it; who sees at once what, in given circumstances, is to be done, and does it (William Hazlitt Quotes)
The origin of all science is the desire to know causes, and the origin of all false science is the desire to accept false causes rather than none; or, which is the same thing, in the unwillingness to acknowledge our own ignorance (William Hazlitt Quotes)
The devil was a great loss in the preternatural world. He was always something to fear and to hate; he supplied the antagonist powers of the imagination, and the arch of true religion hardly stands firm without him (William Hazlitt Quotes)
Our energy is in proportion to the resistance it meets. We attempt nothing great but from a sense of the difficulties we have to encounter, we persevere in nothing great but from a pride in overcoming them (William Hazlitt Quotes)
I have a much greater ambition to be the best racket player than the best prose writer (William Hazlitt Quotes)
To create an unfavorable impression, it is not necessary that certain things should be true, but that they have been said (William Hazlitt Quotes)
A situation in a public office is secure, but laborious and mechanical, and without the great springs of life, hope and fear (William Hazlitt Quotes)
It may be made a question whether men grow wiser as they grow older, anymore than they grow stronger or healthier or honest (William Hazlitt Quotes)
I am proud up to the point of equality; everything above or below that appears to me arrant impertinence or abject meanness (William Hazlitt Quotes)
Fashion is the abortive issue of vain ostentation and exclusive egotism... tied to no rule, and bound to conform to every whim of the minute (William Hazlitt Quotes)
The wretched are in this respect fortunate, that they have the strongest yearning after happiness; and to desire is in some sense to enjoy (William Hazlitt Quotes)
Religion either makes men wise and virtuous, or it makes them set up false pretenses to both (William Hazlitt Quotes)
To think justly, we must understand what others mean. To know the value of our thoughts, we must try their effect on other minds (William Hazlitt Quotes)
