More quotes by William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
One of the pleasantest things in the world is going on a journey but I like to go by myself.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
The soul of dispatch is decision.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
We must overact our part in some measure, in order to produce any effect at all.
William Hazlitt
The public is so in awe of its own opinion that it never dares to form any, but catches up the first idle rumour, lest it should be behindhand in its judgment, and echoes it till it is deafened with the sound of its own voice.
William Hazlitt
The present is an age of talkers, and not of doers and the reason is, that the world is growing old. We are so far advanced in the Arts and Sciences, that we live in retrospect, and dote on past achievement.
William Hazlitt
You are never tired of painting, because you have to set down not what you know already, but what you have just discovered.
William Hazlitt
Men of gravity are intellectual stammerers, whose thoughts move slowly.
