More quotes by 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
We grow tired of everything but turning others into ridicule, and congratulating ourselves on their defects.
William Hazlitt
Image
Comedy naturally wears itself out - destroys the very food on which it lives and by constantly and successfully exposing the follies and weaknesses of mankind to ridicule, in the end leaves itself nothing worth laughing at.
William Hazlitt
Image
Just as much as we see in others we have in ourselves.
William Hazlitt
Image
There is room enough in human life to crowd almost every art and science in it. If we pass no day without a line-visit no place without the company of a book-we may with ease fill libraries or empty them of their contents. The more we do, the more busy we are, the more leisure we have.
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.
William Hazlitt
Image
Keep your misfortunes to yourself.
William Hazlitt
Image
What I mean by living to one's self is living in the world, as in it, not of it.
William Hazlitt
Image
Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end. There was a time when we were not: this gives us no concern. Why, then, should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be?
William Hazlitt
Image
One truth discovered, one pang of regret at not being able to express it, is better than all the fluency and flippancy in the world.
William Hazlitt
Image
Our energy is in proportion to the resistance it meets. We attempt nothing great but from a sense of the difficulties we have to encounter, we persevere in nothing great but from a pride in overcoming them.
William Hazlitt
Image
Prosperity is a great teacher adversity a greater.
William Hazlitt
Image
To get others to come into our ways of thinking, we must go over to theirs and it is necessary to follow, in order to lead.
William Hazlitt
Image
Want of principle is power. Truth and honesty set a limit to our efforts, which impudence and hypocrisy easily overleap.
William Hazlitt
Image
Greatness is great power, producing great effects. It is not enough that a man has great power in himself, he must shew it to all the world in a way that cannot be hid or gainsaid.
William Hazlitt
Image
To a superior race of being the pretensions of mankind to extraordinary sanctity and virtue must seem... ridiculous.
William Hazlitt
Image
To expect an author to talk as he writes is ridiculous or even if he did you would find fault with him as a pedant.
William Hazlitt
Image
Society is a more level surface than we imagine. Wise men or absolute fools are hard to be met with, as there are few giants or dwarfs.
William Hazlitt
Image
Humanity is to be met with in a den of robbers.
William Hazlitt
Image
The silence of a friend commonly amounts to treachery. His not daring to say anything in our behalf implies a tacit censure.
