William Hazlitt
The objects that we have known in better days are the main props that sustain the weight of our affections, and give us strength to await our future lot.
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
Those who object to wit are envious of it.
William Hazlitt
None but those who are happy in themselves can make others so.
William Hazlitt
People addicted to secrecy are so without knowing why they are not so for cause, but for secrecy's sake.
William Hazlitt
Our lives are ruled by impermanence. The challenge is how to create something of enduring value within the context of our impermanent lives. Soka Gakkai Great thoughts reduced to practice become great acts.
William Hazlitt
Old friendships are like meats served up repeatedly, cold, comfortless, and distasteful. The stomach turns against them.
