William Hazlitt

Every one in a crowd has the power to throw dirt none out of ten have the inclination.
William Hazlitt
Image
Few things tend more to alienate friendship than a want of punctuality in our engagements. I have known the breach of a promise to dine or sup to break up more than one intimacy.
William Hazlitt
Image
Women never reason, and therefore they are (comparatively) seldom wrong.
William Hazlitt
Image
It is remarkable how virtuous and generously disposed every one is at a play.
William Hazlitt
Image
The way to get on in the world is to be neither more nor less wise, neither better nor worse than your neighbours.
