More quotes by William Hazlitt
To be forward to praise others implies either great eminence, that can afford to, part with applause or great quickness of discernment, with confidence in our own judgments or great sincerity and love of truth, getting the better of our self-love.

Or have I passed my time in pouring words like water into empty sieves, rolling a stone up a hill and then down again, trying to prove an argument in the teeth of facts, and looking for causes in the dark, and not finding them?
William Hazlitt
Learning is its own exceeding great reward and at the period of which we speak, it bore other fruits, not unworthy of it.
William Hazlitt
To be wiser than other men is to be honester than they and strength of mind is only courage to see and speak the truth.
William Hazlitt
Death puts an end to rivalship and competition. The dead can boast no advantage over us, nor can we triumph over them.
William Hazlitt
The more we do, the more we can do the more busy we are, the more leisure we have.
William Hazlitt
Keep your misfortunes to yourself.
William Hazlitt
The silence of a friend commonly amounts to treachery. His not daring to say anything in our behalf implies a tacit censure.
William Hazlitt
There is an unseemly exposure of the mind, as well as of the body.
William Hazlitt
He who undervalues himself is justly undervalued by others.
