If you think you can win, you can win. Faith is necessary to victory.
William Hazlitt
Image
Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain.
William Hazlitt
Image
The dupe of friendship, and the fool of love have I not reason to hate and to despise myself? Indeed I do and chiefly for not having hated and despised the world enough.
William Hazlitt
Image
There is no one thoroughly despicable. We cannot descend much lower than an idiot and an idiot has some advantages over a wise man.
William Hazlitt
Image
The fear of punishment may be necessary to the suppression of vice but it also suspends the finer motives of virtue.
William Hazlitt
Image
The most sensible people to be met with in society are men of business and of the world, who argue from what they see and know, instead of spinning cobweb distinctions of what things ought to be.
William Hazlitt
Image
We do not die wholly at our deaths: we have mouldered away gradually long before. Faculty after faculty, interest after interest, attachment after attachment disappear: we are torn from ourselves while living.
William Hazlitt
Image
The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure very much.
William Hazlitt
Image
To-day kings, to-marrow beggars, it is only when they are themselves that they are nothing.
William Hazlitt

What are the publications that succeed? Those that pretend to teach the public that the persons they have been accustomed unwittingly to look up to as the lights of the earth are no better than themselves.
William Hazlitt
Image
A knave thinks himself a fool, all the time he is not making a fool of some other person.
William Hazlitt
Image
Gallantry to women - the sure road to their favor - is nothing but the appearance of extreme devotion to all their wants and wishes, a delight in their satisfaction, and a confidence in yourself as being able to contribute toward it
William Hazlitt
Image
I am proud up to the point of equality everything above or below that appears to me arrant impertinence or abject meanness.
William Hazlitt
Image
Vice is man's nature: virtue is a habit -- or a mask. . . . The foregoing maxim shows the difference between truth and sarcasm.
William Hazlitt
Image
Religion either makes men wise and virtuous, or it makes them set up false pretenses to both.
William Hazlitt
Image
The seat of knowledge is in the head of wisdom, in the heart. We are sure to judge wrong, if we do not feel right.
William Hazlitt
Image
Experience makes us wise.
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
The world loves to be amused by hollow professions, to be deceived by flattering appearances, to live in a state of hallucination and can forgive everything but the plain, downright, simple, honest truth.
