William Hazlitt
Image
What is popular is not necessarily vulgar and that which we try to rescue from fatal obscurity had in general much better remain where it is.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
Image
Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are, and what they ought to be.
William Hazlitt
Image
Anyone is to be pitied who has just sense enough to perceive his deficiencies.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
Image
An honest man is respected by all parties.
William Hazlitt
Image
Our energy is in proportion to the resistance it meets. We attempt nothing great but from a sense of the difficulties we have to encounter, we persevere in nothing great but from a pride in overcoming them.
William Hazlitt
Image
The insolence of the vulgar is in proportion to their ignorance. They treat everything with contempt which they do not understand.
William Hazlitt
Image
A hypocrite despises those whom he deceives, but has no respect for himself. He would make a dupe of himself too, if he could.
William Hazlitt
Image
The confession of our failings is a thankless office. It savors less of sincerity or modesty than of ostentation. It seems as if we thought our weaknesses as good as other people's virtues.
William Hazlitt
Image
One shining quality lends a lustre to another, or hides some glaring defect.
William Hazlitt
Image
Who likes not his business, his business likes not him.
