Mankind are a herd of knaves and fools. It is necessary to join the crowd, or get out of their way, in order not to be trampled to death by them (William Hazlitt Quotes)
The only true retirement is that of the heart; the only true leisure is the repose of the passions. To such persons it makes little difference whether they are young or old; and they die as they have lived, with graceful resignation (William Hazlitt Quotes)
Human life may be regarded as a succession of frontispieces. The way to be satisfied is never to look back (William Hazlitt Quotes)
So I have loitered my life away, reading books, looking at pictures, going to plays, hearing, thinking, writing on what pleased me best. I have wanted only one thing to make me happy, but wanting that have wanted everything (William Hazlitt Quotes)
A great chessplayer is not a great man, for he leaves the world as he found it (William Hazlitt Quotes)
The insolence of the vulgar is in proportion to their ignorance. They treat everything with contempt which they do not understand (William Hazlitt Quotes)
One of the pleasantest things in the world is going on a journey; I can enjoy society in a room; but out of doors, nature is company enough for me. I am then never less alone than when alone (William Hazlitt Quotes)
If our hours were all serene, we might probably take almost as little note of them as the dial does of those that are clouded (William Hazlitt Quotes)
When one can do better than everyone else in the same walk, one does not make any very painful exertions to outdo oneself. The progress of improvement ceases nearly at the point where competition ends (William Hazlitt Quotes)
As we advance in life, we acquire a keener sense of the value of time. Nothing else, indeed, seems of any consequence; and we become misers in this respect (William Hazlitt Quotes)

The pleasure of hating, like a poisonous mineral, eats into the heart of religion, and turns it to ranking spleen and bigotry; it makes patriotism an excuse for carrying fire, pestilence, and famine into other lands: it leaves to virtue nothing but the spirit of censoriousness (William Hazlitt Quotes)
Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense; a substitute for true knowledge. Books are less often made use of as spectacles to look at nature with, than as blinds to keep out its strong light and shifting scenery from weak eyes and indolent dispositions. The learned are mere literary drudges (William Hazlitt Quotes)
The surest hindrance of success is to have too high a standard of refinement in our own minds, or too high an opinion of the judgment of the public. He who is determined not to be satisfied with anything short of perfection will never do anything to please himself or others (William Hazlitt Quotes)
Gracefulness has been defined to be the outward expression of the inward harmony of the soul (William Hazlitt Quotes)
The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves. We cannot force love (William Hazlitt Quotes)
The mind of man is like a clock that is always running down, and requires to be as constantly wound up (William Hazlitt Quotes)

To be remembered after we are dead, is but a poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living (William Hazlitt Quotes)
