William Hazlitt
Image
One said he wondered that leather was not dearer than any other thing. Being demanded a reason: because, saith he, it is more stood upon than any other thing in the world.
William Hazlitt
Image
One is always more vexed at losing a game of any sort by a single hole or ace, than if one has never had a chance of winning it.
William Hazlitt
Image
Without life there can be no action — no objects of pursuit — no restless desires — no tormenting passions. Hence it is that we fondly cling to it — that we dread its termination as the close, not of enjoyment, but of hope.
William Hazlitt
Image
A King (as such) is not a great man. He has great power, but it is not his own.
William Hazlitt
Image
The way to procure insults is to submit to them. A man meets with no more respect than he exacts.
William Hazlitt
Image
