Image
In exploring new and doubtful tracts of speculation, the mind strikes out true and original views as a drop of water hesitates at first what direction it will take, but afterwards follows its own course.
William Hazlitt
Image
The admiration of power in others is as common to man as the love of it in himself the one makes him a tyrant, the other a slave.
William Hazlitt
Image
Every one in a crowd has the power to throw dirt none out of ten have the inclination.
William Hazlitt
Image
Many a man would have turned rogue if he knew how.
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
He who comes up to his own idea of greatness must always have had a very low standard of it in his mind.
William Hazlitt
Image
Comedy naturally wears itself out - destroys the very food on which it lives and by constantly and successfully exposing the follies and weaknesses of mankind to ridicule, in the end leaves itself nothing worth laughing at.
William Hazlitt
Image
To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living.
William Hazlitt
Image
Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end. There was a time when we were not: this gives us no concern. Why, then, should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be?
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
An accomplished coquette excites the passions of others, in proportion as she feels none herself.
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
Nothing gives such a blow to friendship as the detecting another in an untruth. It strikes at the root of our confidence ever after.
William Hazlitt
Image
Our notions with respect to the importance of life, and our attachment to it, depend on a principle which has very little to do with its happiness or its misery. The love of life is, in general, the effect not of our enjoyments, but of our passions.
William Hazlitt
Image
Of all eloquence a nickname is the most concise of all arguments the most unanswerable.
William Hazlitt
Image
A person who talks with equal vivacity on every subject, excites no interest in any. Repose is as necessary in conversation as in a picture.
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
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
Prejudice is never easy unless it can pass itself off for reason.
William Hazlitt
Image
A woman's vanity is interested in making the object of her choice the god of her idolatry.
