More quotes by William Hazlitt
A thing is not vulgar merely because it is common.
William Hazlitt
Good temper is an estate for life.
William Hazlitt
No act terminating in itself constitutes greatness.
William Hazlitt
We grow tired of ourselves, much more of other people.
William Hazlitt
Poverty is the test of civility and the touchstone of friendship.
William Hazlitt
Prejudice is the child of ignorance.
William Hazlitt
Reflection brakes men cowards. There is no object that can be put in competition with life, unless it is viewed through the medium of passion, and we are hurried away by the impulse of the moment.
William Hazlitt
Envy is the deformed and distorted offspring of egotism and when we reflect on the strange and disproportioned character of the parent, we cannot wonder at the perversity and waywardness of the child.
William Hazlitt
It is essential to the triumph of reform that it should never succeed.
William Hazlitt
There is nothing more likely to drive a man mad, than the being unable to get rid of the idea of the distinction between right and wrong, and an obstinate, constitutional preference of the true to the agreeable.
William Hazlitt
One said a tooth drawer was a kind of unconscionable trade, because his trade was nothing else but to take away those things whereby every man gets his living.
William Hazlitt
Religion either makes men wise and virtuous, or it makes them set up false pretenses to both.
William Hazlitt
The more a man writes, the more he can write.
William Hazlitt
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
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
Violent antipathies are always suspicious, and betray a secret affinity.
William Hazlitt
As hypocrisy is said to be the highest compliment to virtue, the art of lying is the strongest acknowledgment of the force of truth.
William Hazlitt
It is better to be able neither to read nor write than to be able to do nothing else.
William Hazlitt
Let a man's talents or virtues be what they may, he will only feel satisfaction in his society as he is satisfied in himself.
William Hazlitt
The only vice that cannot be forgiven is hypocrisy. The repentance of a hypocrite is itself hypocrisy.
William Hazlitt
