The devil was a great loss in the preternatural world. He was always something to fear and to hate he supplied the antagonist powers of the imagination, and the arch of true religion hardly stands firm without him.

More quotes by William Hazlitt
We are not satisfied to be right, unless we can prove others to be quite wrong.
William Hazlitt
I hate to be near the sea, and to hear it roaring and raging like a wild beast in its den. It puts me in mind of the everlasting efforts of the human mind, struggling to be free, and ending just where it began.
William Hazlitt
That which anyone has been long learning unwillingly, he unlearns with proportional eagerness and haste.
William Hazlitt
We can scarcely hate anyone that we know.
William Hazlitt
As we advance in life, we acquire a keener sense of the value of time. Nothing else, indeed, seems of any consequence and we become misers in this respect.
William Hazlitt
Believe all the good you can of everyone. Do not measure others by yourself. If they have advantages which you have not, let your liberality keep pace with their good fortune. Envy no one, and you need envy no one.
William Hazlitt
Women never reason, and therefore they are (comparatively) seldom wrong.
William Hazlitt
A distinction has been made between acuteness and subtlety of understanding. This might be illustrated by saying that acuteness consists in taking up the points or solid atoms, subtlety in feeling the air of truth.
William Hazlitt
The wretched are in this respect fortunate, that they have the strongest yearning after happiness and to desire is in some sense to enjoy.
William Hazlitt
Prosperity is a great teacher adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind privation trains and strengthens it.
William Hazlitt
In what we really understand, we reason but little.
William Hazlitt
Abuse is an indirect species of homage.
William Hazlitt
You shall yourself be judge. Reason, with most people, means their own opinion.
William Hazlitt
He who draws upon his own resources easily comes to an end of his wealth.
William Hazlitt
True modesty and true pride are much the same thing: both consist in setting a just value on ourselves - neither more nor less.
William Hazlitt
He who is as faithful to his principles as he is to himself is the true partisan.
William Hazlitt
The more we do, the more we can do the more busy we are, the more leisure we have.
William Hazlitt
When you find out a man's ruling passion, beware of crossing him in it.
William Hazlitt
Familiarity confounds all traits of distinction interest and prejudice take away the power of judging.
William Hazlitt
The greatest reverses of fortune are the most easily borne from a sort of dignity belonging to them.
William Hazlitt
