Those who are pleased with the fewest things know the least, as those who are pleased with everything know nothing (William Hazlitt Quotes)
One truth discovered, one pang of regret at not being able to express it, is better than all the fluency and flippancy in the world (William Hazlitt Quotes)
To be wiser than other men is to be honester than they; and strength of mind is only courage to see and speak the truth (William Hazlitt Quotes)

We go on a journey to be free of all impediments; to leave ourselves behind much more than to get rid of others (William Hazlitt Quotes)
He is a hypocrite who professes what he does not believe; not he who does not practice all he wishes or approves (William Hazlitt Quotes)
The truth is, we pamper little griefs into great ones, and bear great ones as well as we can (William Hazlitt Quotes)
