More quotes by William Hazlitt
Repose is as necessary in conversation as in a picture.
William Hazlitt
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
We can bear to be deprived of everything but our self-conceit.
William Hazlitt
Genius, like humanity, rusts for want of use.
William Hazlitt
People addicted to secrecy are so without knowing why they are not so for cause, but for secrecy's sake.
William Hazlitt
We may be willing to tell a story twice, never to hear it more than once.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
Who likes not his business, his business likes not him.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
Within my heart is lurking suspicion, and base fear, and shame and hate but above all, tyrannous love sits throned, crowned with her graces, silent and in tears.
William Hazlitt
Want of principle is power. Truth and honesty set a limit to our efforts, which impudence and hypocrisy easily overleap.
William Hazlitt
The true barbarian is he who thinks everything barbarous but his own tastes and prejudices.
William Hazlitt
We are not satisfied to be right, unless we can prove others to be quite wrong.
William Hazlitt
What is popular is not necessarily vulgar and that which we try to rescue from fatal obscurity had in general much better remain where it is.
William Hazlitt
The only impeccable writers are those who never wrote.
William Hazlitt
When I am in the country, I wish to vegetate like the country.
William Hazlitt
As we are poetical in our natures, so we delight in fable.
