William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
Image
A taste for liberal art is necessary to complete the character of a gentleman, Science alone is hard and mechanical. It exercises the understanding upon things out of ourselves, while it leaves the affections unemployed, or engrossed with our own immediate, narrow interests.
William Hazlitt
Image
The truly proud man knows neither superiors or inferiors. The first he does not admit of - the last he does not concern himself about.
