William Hazlitt
Image
I'm not smart, but I like to observe. Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one who asked why.
William Hazlitt
Image
We do not like our friends the worse because they sometimes give us an opportunity to rail at them heartily. Their faults reconcile us to their virtues.
William Hazlitt
Image
Anyone who has passed though the regular gradations of a classical education, and is not made a fool by it, may consider himself as having had a very narrow escape.
William Hazlitt
Image
It may be made a question whether men grow wiser as they grow older, anymore than they grow stronger or healthier or honest.
William Hazlitt
Image
Liberty is the only true riches: of all the rest we are at once the masters and the slaves.
William Hazlitt
Image
Love and joy are twins or born of each other.
William Hazlitt
Image
Envy is littleness of soul.
William Hazlitt
Image
Avarice is the miser's dream, as fame is the poet's.
William Hazlitt
