Text Quotes
He indeed cloys with sweetness; he obscures with splendour; he fatigues with gaiety. We are stifled on beds of roses  (William Hazlitt Quotes) No man is truly great who is great only in his own lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history  (William Hazlitt Quotes) It is not the passion of a mind struggling with misfortune, or the hopelessness of its desires, but of a mind preying on itself, and disgusted with, or indifferent to all other things  (William Hazlitt Quotes) One is never tired of painting, because you have to set down, not what you knew already, but what you have just discovered. There is a continual creation out of nothing going on  (William Hazlitt Quotes) Sincerity has to do with the connect between our words and thoughts, and not between our belief and actions  (William Hazlitt Quotes) The generality of mankind are contented to be estimated by what they possess instead of what they are  (William Hazlitt Quotes) There are only 3 pleasures in life pure and lasting, and they all are derived from inanimate things: books, pictures, and the face of nature  (William Hazlitt Quotes) Those who cannot miss an opportunity of saying a good thing... Are not to be trusted with the management of any great question  (William Hazlitt Quotes) When a person dies who does any one thing better than anyone else in the world, which so many others are trying to do well, it leaves a gap in society  (William Hazlitt Quotes) We prefer a person with vivacity and high spirits, though bordering upon insolence, to the timid and pusillanimous; we are fonder of wit joined to malice than of dullness without it  (William Hazlitt Quotes) To elevate and surprise is the great art of quackery and puffing; to raise a lively and exaggerated image in the mind, and take it by surprise before it can recover breath  (William Hazlitt Quotes) I hate anything that occupies more space than it is worth. I hate to see a load of bandboxes go along the street, and I hate to see a parcel of big words without anything in them  (William Hazlitt Quotes) The most phlegmatic dispositions often contain the most inflammable spirits, as fire is struck from the hardest flints  (William Hazlitt Quotes) To expect an author to talk as he writes is ridiculous; or even if he did you would find fault with him as a pedant  (William Hazlitt Quotes) In love we never think of moral qualities, and scarcely of intellectual ones. Temperament and manners alone, with beauty, excite love  (William Hazlitt Quotes) Nothing gives such a blow to friendship as the detecting another in an untruth. It strikes at the root of our confidence ever after  (William Hazlitt Quotes) The same reason makes a man a religious enthusiast that makes a man an enthusiast in any other way, an uncomfortable mind in an uncomfortable body  (William Hazlitt Quotes) It is only those who never think at all, or else who have accustomed themselves to blood invariably on abstract ideas, that ever feel ennui  (William Hazlitt Quotes) Poverty, labor, and calamity are not without their luxuries, which the rich, the indolent, and the fortunate in vain seek for  (William Hazlitt Quotes) Virtue may be said to steal, like a guilty thing, into the secret haunts of vice and infamy; it clings to their devoted victim, and will not be driven quite away. Nothing can destroy the human heart  (William Hazlitt Quotes) He who lives wisely to himself and his own heart looks at the busy world through the loopholes of retreat, and does not want to mingle in the fray  (William Hazlitt Quotes) It might be argued, that to be a knave is the gift of fortune, but to play the fool to advantage it is necessary to be a learned man  (William Hazlitt Quotes) One said he wondered that leather was not dearer than any other thing. Being demanded a reason: because, saith he, it is more stood upon than any other thing in the world  (William Hazlitt Quotes) It is hard to dispraise those who are dispraised by others. He is little short of a hero who perseveres in thinking well of a friend who has become a butt for slander, and a byword  (William Hazlitt Quotes) People do not persist in their vices because they are not weary of them, but because they cannot leave them off. It is the nature of vice to leave us no resource but in itself  (William Hazlitt Quotes) Death puts an end to rivalship and competition. The dead can boast no advantage over us, nor can we triumph over them  (William Hazlitt Quotes) Mankind are so ready to bestow their admiration on the dead, because the latter do not hear it, or because it gives no pleasure to the objects of it. Even fame is the offspring of envy  (William Hazlitt Quotes) The greatest pleasure in life is that of reading while we are young. I have had as much of this pleasure perhaps as any one  (William Hazlitt Quotes) Friendship is cemented by interest, vanity, or the want of amusement; it seldom implies esteem, or even mutual regard  (William Hazlitt Quotes) The amiable is the voluptuous in expression or manner. The sense of pleasure in ourselves is that which excites it in others; or, the art of pleasing is to seem pleased  (William Hazlitt Quotes)
