More quotes by William Hazlitt
Honesty is one part of eloquence. We persuade others by being in earnest ourselves.
William Hazlitt
Refinement creates beauty everywhere. It is the grossness of the spectator that discovers anything like grossness in the object.
William Hazlitt
If the world were good for nothing else, it is a fine subject for speculation.
William Hazlitt
Actors are the only honest hypocrites.
William Hazlitt
Languages happily restrict the mind to what is of its own native growth and fitted for it, as rivers and mountains bond countries or the empire of learning, as well as states, would become unwieldy and overgrown.
William Hazlitt
We go on a journey to be free of all impediments to leave ourselves behind much more than to get rid of others
William Hazlitt
Many a man would have turned rogue if he knew how.
William Hazlitt
One shining quality lends a lustre to another, or hides some glaring defect.
William Hazlitt
No man is truly great who is great only in his lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history.
William Hazlitt
We can bear to be deprived of everything but our self-conceit.
William Hazlitt
Any one may mouth out a passage with a theatrical cadence, or get upon stilts to tell his thoughts but to write or speak with propriety and simplicity is a more difficult task. Thus it is easy to affect a pompous style, to use a word twice as big as the thing you want to express it is not so easy to pitch upon the very word that exactly fits it.
William Hazlitt
The contemplation of truth and beauty is the proper object for which we were created, which calls forth the most intense desires of the soul, and of which it never tires.
William Hazlitt
Books wind into the heart.
William Hazlitt
We are not hypocrites in our sleep.
William Hazlitt
When I take up a book I have read before, I know what to expect the satisfaction is not lessened by being anticipated. I shake hands with, and look our old tried and valued friend in the face,--compare notes and chat the hour away.
William Hazlitt
The incentive to ambition is the love of power.
William Hazlitt
Natural affection is a prejudice for though we have cause to love our nearest connections better than others, we have no reason to think them better than others.
William Hazlitt
The most violent friendships soonest wear themselves out.
William Hazlitt
A thought must tell at once, or not at all.
William Hazlitt
That which is not, shall never be that which is, shall never cease to be. To the wise, these truths are self-evident.
William Hazlitt
