More quotes by William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
The more you do, the more you can do.
William Hazlitt
Reflection brakes men cowards. There is no object that can be put in competition with life, unless it is viewed through the medium of passion, and we are hurried away by the impulse of the moment.
William Hazlitt
There is a heroism in crime as well as in virtue. Vice and infamy have their altars and their religion.
William Hazlitt
Look up, laugh loud, talk big, keep the color in your cheek and the fire in your eye, adorn your person, maintain your health, your beauty and your animal spirits.
William Hazlitt
Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food.
William Hazlitt
The garb of religion is the best cloak for power.
William Hazlitt
Weakness has its hidden resources, as well as strength. There is a degree of folly and meanness which we cannot calculate upon, and by which we are as much liable to be foiled as by the greatest ability or courage.
William Hazlitt
Want of principle is power. Truth and honesty set a limit to our efforts, which impudence and hypocrisy easily overleap.
William Hazlitt
You shall yourself be judge. Reason, with most people, means their own opinion.
William Hazlitt
Honesty is one part of eloquence. We persuade others by being in earnest ourselves.
William Hazlitt
Spleen can subsist on any kind of food.
William Hazlitt
We are not satisfied to be right, unless we can prove others to be quite wrong.
William Hazlitt
Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense a substitute for true knowledge.
William Hazlitt
The best part of our lives we pass in counting on what is to come.
William Hazlitt
The only true retirement is that of the heart the only true leisure is the repose of the passions. To such persons it makes little difference whether they are young or old and they die as they have lived, with graceful resignation.
William Hazlitt
