More quotes by William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
Common sense, to most people, is nothing more than their own opinions.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
The difference between the vanity of a Frenchman and an Englishman seems to be this: the one thinks everything right that is French, the other thinks everything wrong that is not English.
William Hazlitt
The world dread nothing so much as being convinced of their errors.
William Hazlitt
It is a false principle that because we are entirely occupied with ourselves, we must equally occupy the thoughts of others. The contrary inference is the fair one.
William Hazlitt
One shining quality lends a lustre to another, or hides some glaring defect.
William Hazlitt
Who likes not his business, his business likes not him.
William Hazlitt
The true barbarian is he who thinks everything barbarous but his own tastes and prejudices.
William Hazlitt
Those who are fond of setting things to rights, have no great objection to seeing them wrong.
William Hazlitt
