More quotes by William Hazlitt
Nothing precludes sympathy so much as a perfect indifference to it
William Hazlitt
It is remarkable how virtuous and generously disposed every one is at a play.
William Hazlitt
Books let us into their souls and lay open to us the secrets of our own.
William Hazlitt
Silence is one great art of conversation.
William Hazlitt
Keep your misfortunes to yourself.
William Hazlitt
The corpse of friendship is not worth embalming.
William Hazlitt
The worst old age is that of the mind.
William Hazlitt
Death is the greatest evil, because it cuts off hope.
William Hazlitt
There is an unseemly exposure of the mind, as well as of the body.
William Hazlitt
Pure good soon grows insipid, wants variety and spirit. Pain is a bittersweet, which never surfeits. Love turns, with a little indulgence, to indifference or disgust. Hatred alone is immortal.
William Hazlitt
The art of conversation is the art of hearing as well as of being heard.
William Hazlitt
Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end. There was a time when we were not: this gives us no concern. Why, then, should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be?
William Hazlitt
To the proud the slightest repulse or disappointment is the last indignity.
William Hazlitt
Avarice is the miser's dream, as fame is the poet's.
William Hazlitt
We do not die wholly at our deaths: we have mouldered away gradually long before. Faculty after faculty, interest after interest, attachment after attachment disappear: we are torn from ourselves while living.
William Hazlitt
Those who have had none of the cares of this life to harass and disturb them, have been obliged to have recourse to the hopes and fears of the next to vary the prospect before them.
William Hazlitt
Taste is nothing but an enlarged capacity for receiving pleasure from works of imagination.
William Hazlitt
The best way to make ourselves agreeable to others is by seeming to think them so. If we appear fully sensible of their good qualities they will not complain of the want of them in us.
William Hazlitt
Some people break promises for the pleasure of breaking them.
William Hazlitt
The expression of a gentleman's face is not so much that of refinement, as of flexibility, not of sensibility and enthusiasm as of indifference it argues presence of mind rather than enlargement of ideas.
William Hazlitt
