More quotes by William Hazlitt

Image
No man is truly great who is great only in his lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history.
William Hazlitt
Image
Death puts an end to rivalship and competition. The dead can boast no advantage over us, nor can we triumph over them.
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 definition of genius is that it acts unconsciously, and those who have produced immortal works have done so without knowing how or why.
William Hazlitt
Image
To be forward to praise others implies either great eminence, that can afford to, part with applause or great quickness of discernment, with confidence in our own judgments or great sincerity and love of truth, getting the better of our self-love.
William Hazlitt
Image
Silence is one great art of conversation.
William Hazlitt
Image
There is an unseemly exposure of the mind, as well as of the body.
William Hazlitt
Image
Men of gravity are intellectual stammerers, whose thoughts move slowly.
William Hazlitt
Image
Sincerity has to do with the connexion between our words and thoughts, and not between our beliefs and actions.
William Hazlitt
Image
Persons who undertake to pry into, or cleanse out all the filth of a common sewer, either cannot have very nice noses, or will soon lose them.
William Hazlitt
Image
The secret of the difficulties of those people who make a great deal of money, and yet are always in want of it, is this-they throw it away as soon as they get it on the first whim or extravagance that strikes them, and have nothing left to meet ordinary expenses or discharge old debts.
William Hazlitt
Image
Mankind are so ready to bestow their admiration on the dead, because the latter do not hear it, or because it gives no pleasure to the objects of it. Even fame is the offspring of envy.
William Hazlitt
Image
If our hours were all serene, we might probably take almost as little note of them as the dial does of those that are clouded.
William Hazlitt
Image
The more we do, the more we can do the more busy we are, the more leisure we have.
William Hazlitt
Image
He who does nothing renders himself incapable of doing any thing but while we are executing any work, we are preparing and qualifying ourselves to undertake another.
William Hazlitt
Image
Violence ever defeats its own ends. Where you cannot drive you can always persuade. A gentle word, a kind look, a god-natured smile can work wonders and accomplish miracles. There is a secret pride in every human heart than revolts at tyranny. You may order and drive an individual, but you cannot make him respect you.
William Hazlitt
Image
Refinement creates beauty everywhere. It is the grossness of the spectator that discovers anything like grossness in the object.
William Hazlitt
Image
I have known persons without a friend--never any one without some virtue. The virtues of the former conspired with their vices to make the whole world their enemies.
William Hazlitt
Image
Fashion constantly begins and ends in the two things it abhors most, singularity and vulgarity.
William Hazlitt
Image
He is a hypocrite who professes what he does not believe not he who does not practice all he wishes or approves.
