More quotes by William Hazlitt
We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
Horus non numero nisi serenas (I count only the sunny hours).
William Hazlitt
Of all eloquence a nickname is the most concise of all arguments the most unanswerable.
William Hazlitt
The admiration of power in others is as common to man as the love of it in himself the one makes him a tyrant, the other a slave.

William Hazlitt
A distinction has been made between acuteness and subtlety of understanding. This might be illustrated by saying that acuteness consists in taking up the points or solid atoms, subtlety in feeling the air of truth.

William Hazlitt
What passes in the world for talent or dexterity or enterprise is often only a want of moral principle. We may succeed where others fail, not from a greater share of invention, but from not being nice in the choice of expedients.
William Hazlitt
Nothing is more unjust or capricious than public opinion.
William Hazlitt
Do not keep on with a mockery of friendship after the substance is gone - but part, while you can part friends. Bury the carcass of friendship: it is not worth embalming.
William Hazlitt
A hair in the head is worth two in the brush.
William Hazlitt
Cowardice is not synonymous with prudence. It often happens that the better part of discretion is valor.
William Hazlitt
The incentive to ambition is the love of power.
William Hazlitt
We are never so much disposed to quarrel with others as when we are dissatisfied with ourselves.
William Hazlitt
The most learned are often the most narrow minded.
William Hazlitt
Painting gives the object itself poetry what it implies. Painting embodies what a thing contains in itself poetry suggests what exists out of it, in any manner connected with it.
