More quotes by William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
Pride is founded not on the sense of happiness, but on the sense of power.
William Hazlitt
It is the vice of scholars to suppose that there is no knowledge in the world but that of books.
William Hazlitt
The greatest grossness sometimes accompanies the greatest refinement, as a natural relief.
William Hazlitt
A man's reputation is not in his own keeping, but lies at the mercy of the profligacy of others. Calumny requires no proof.
William Hazlitt
Power is pleasure and pleasure sweetens pain.
William Hazlitt
When you find out a man's ruling passion, beware of crossing him in it.
William Hazlitt
We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.
William Hazlitt
There is a heroism in crime as well as in virtue. Vice and infamy have their altars and their religion.
William Hazlitt
Honesty is one part of eloquence. We persuade others by being in earnest ourselves.
William Hazlitt
A thing is not vulgar merely because it is common.
William Hazlitt
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
An orator can hardly get beyond commonplaces: if he does he gets beyond his hearers.
William Hazlitt
What is popular is not necessarily vulgar and that which we try to rescue from fatal obscurity had in general much better remain where it is.
William Hazlitt
The smallest pain in our little finger gives us more concern than the destruction of millions of our fellow beings.
William Hazlitt
Vice is man's nature: virtue is a habit -- or a mask. . . . The foregoing maxim shows the difference between truth and sarcasm.
William Hazlitt
Death puts an end to rivalship and competition. The dead can boast no advantage over us, nor can we triumph over them.
William Hazlitt
Familiarity confounds all traits of distinction interest and prejudice take away the power of judging.
William Hazlitt
In public speaking, we must appeal either to the prejudices of others, or to the love of truth and justice. If we think merely of displaying our own ability, we shall ruin every cause we undertake.
William Hazlitt
