Image
Vanity does not refer to the opinion a man entertains of himself, but to that which he wishes others to entertain of him.
William Hazlitt
Image
A scholar is like a book written in a dead language. It is not every one that can read in it.
William Hazlitt
Image
Every man depends on the quantity of sense, wit, or good manners he brings into society for the reception he meets with in it.

Image
Books wind into the heart.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
Image
It may be made a question whether men grow wiser as they grow older, anymore than they grow stronger or healthier or honest.
William Hazlitt
Image

Keep your misfortunes to yourself.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
Image
Those are ever the most ready to do justice to others, who feel that the world has done them justice.
William Hazlitt
Image
An accomplished coquette excites the passions of others, in proportion as she feels none herself.
William Hazlitt
Image
A lively blockhead in company is a public benefit. Silence or dulness by the side of folly looks like wisdom.
William Hazlitt
Image
Talent is the capacity of doing anything that depends on application and industry and it is a voluntary power, while genius is involuntary.
William Hazlitt
Image
Danger is a good teacher, and makes apt scholars. So are disgrace, defeat, exposure to immediate scorn and laughter. There is no opportunity in such cases for self-delusion, no idling time away, no being off your guard (or you must take the consequences) - neither is there any room for humour or caprice or prejudice.
William Hazlitt
Image
We often choose a friend as we do a mistress - for no particular excellence in themselves, but merely from some circumstance that flatters our self-love.
William Hazlitt
Image
As hypocrisy is said to be the highest compliment to virtue, the art of lying is the strongest acknowledgment of the force of truth.
