William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
None but those who are happy in themselves can make others so.
William Hazlitt
Anyone who has passed though the regular gradations of a classical education, and is not made a fool by it, may consider himself as having had a very narrow escape.
William Hazlitt
I hate anything that occupies more space than it is worth... I hate to see a parcel of big words without anything in them.
William Hazlitt
We uniformly applaud what is right and condemn what is wrong, when it costs us nothing but the sentiment.
William Hazlitt
We never do anything well till we cease to think about the manner of doing it.
William Hazlitt
We can bear to be deprived of everything but our self-conceit.
William Hazlitt
The idea of what the public will think prevents the public from ever thinking at all, and acts as a spell on the exercise of private judgment.
William Hazlitt
