More quotes by William Hazlitt

Image
The same reason makes a man a religious enthusiast that makes a man an enthusiast in any other way ... an uncomfortable mind in an uncomfortable body.
William Hazlitt
Image
To a superior race of being the pretensions of mankind to extraordinary sanctity and virtue must seem... ridiculous.
William Hazlitt
Image
Popularity is neither fame nor greatness.
William Hazlitt
Image
No man would, I think, exchange his existence with any other man, however fortunate. We had as lief not be, as not be ourselves.
William Hazlitt
Image
We had rather do anything than acknowledge the merit of another if we can help it. We cannot bear a superior or an equal. Hence ridicule is sure to prevail over truth, for the malice of mankind, thrown into the scale, gives the casting weight.
William Hazlitt
Image
We all wear some disguise, make some professions, use some artifice, to set ourselves off as being better than we are and yet it is not denied that we have some good intentions and praiseworthy qualities at bottom.
William Hazlitt
Image
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
Image
Everything is in motion. Everything flows. Everything is vibrating.
William Hazlitt
Image
Learning is the knowledge of that which none but the learned know.
William Hazlitt
Image
In love we do not think of moral qualities, and scarcely of intellectual ones. Temperament and manner alone, with beauty, excite love.
William Hazlitt
Image
The contemplation of truth and beauty is the proper object for which we were created, which calls forth the most intense desires of the soul, and of which it never tires.
William Hazlitt
Image
To display the greatest powers, unless they are applied to great purposes, makes nothing for the character of greatness.
William Hazlitt
Image
When I am in the country, I wish to vegetate like the country.
William Hazlitt
Image
Our opinions are not our own, but in the power of sympathy. If a person tells us a palpable falsehood, we not only dare not contradict him, but we dare hardly disbelieve him to his face. A lie boldly uttered has the effect of truth for the instant.
William Hazlitt
Image
The corpse of friendship is not worth embalming.
William Hazlitt
Image
The greatest grossness sometimes accompanies the greatest refinement, as a natural relief.
William Hazlitt
Image
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
Image
The public have neither shame or gratitude.
William Hazlitt
Image
A situation in a public office is secure, but laborious and mechanical, and without the great springs of life, hope and fear.
William Hazlitt
Image
To write a genuine familiar or truly English style is to write as anyone would speak in common conversation, who had a thorough command and choice of words, or who could discourse with ease, force, and perspicuity, setting aside all pedantic and oratorical flourishes.
