No truly great person ever thought themselves so.
William Hazlitt
Image
Vanity does not refer to the opinion a man entertains of himself, but to that which he wishes others to entertain of him.
William Hazlitt
Image
To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind.
William Hazlitt
Image
There are only three pleasures in life pure and lasting, and all derived from inanimate things-books, pictures and the face of nature.
William Hazlitt
Image
Weakness has its hidden resources, as well as strength. There is a degree of folly and meanness which we cannot calculate upon, and by which we are as much liable to be foiled as by the greatest ability or courage.
William Hazlitt
Image
A nickname is the heaviest stone that the devil can throw at a man. It is a bugbear to the imagination, and, though we do not believe in it, it still haunts our apprehensions.
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
A felon could plead benefit of clergy and be saved by [reading aloud] what was aptly enough termed the neck verse, which was very usually the Miserere mei of Psalm 51.
William Hazlitt
Image
The love of liberty is the love of others the love of power is the love of ourselves.
William Hazlitt
Image
A proud man is satisfied with his own good opinion, and does not seek to make converts to it.
William Hazlitt
Image
To think ill of mankind and not wish ill to them, is perhaps the highest wisdom and virtue.
William Hazlitt
Image
Painting for a whole morning gives one as excellent an appetite for one's dinner, as old Abraham Tucker acquired for his by riding over Banstead Downs.
William Hazlitt
Image
True modesty and true pride are much the same thing: both consist in setting a just value on ourselves - neither more nor less.
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
There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!
William Hazlitt
Image
Books wind into the heart.
