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.

He who comes up to his own idea of greatness must always have had a very low standard of it in his mind.
William Hazlitt
Image
Popularity is neither fame nor greatness.
William Hazlitt
Image
The assumption of merit is easier, less embarrassing, and more effectual than the actual attainment of it.
William Hazlitt
Image
The more you do, the more you can do.
William Hazlitt
Image
He who is as faithful to his principles as he is to himself is the true partisan.
William Hazlitt
Image
The love of letters is the forlorn hope of the man of letters. His ruling passion is the love of fame.
William Hazlitt
Image
Envy is littleness of soul.
William Hazlitt
Image
