More quotes by William Hazlitt
It is a false principle that because we are entirely occupied with ourselves, we must equally occupy the thoughts of others. The contrary inference is the fair one.
William Hazlitt
If the world were good for nothing else, it is a fine subject for speculation.
William Hazlitt
Good temper is an estate for life.
William Hazlitt
Wonder at the first sight of works of art may be the effect of ignorance and novelty but real admiration and permanent delight in them are the growth of taste and knowledge.
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
Without the aid of prejudice and custom, I should not be able to find my way across the room.
William Hazlitt
That which anyone has been long learning unwillingly, he unlearns with proportional eagerness and haste.

William Hazlitt
We would willingly, and without remorse, sacrifice not only the present moment, but all the interval (no matter how long) that separates us from any favorite object.
William Hazlitt
Sincerity has to do with the connexion between our words and thoughts, and not between our beliefs and actions.
William Hazlitt
To be happy, we must be true to nature and carry our age along with us.
William Hazlitt
If a person has no delicacy, he has you in his power.
William Hazlitt
The greatest reverses of fortune are the most easily borne from a sort of dignity belonging to them.
William Hazlitt
Prosperity is a great teacher adversity a greater.
William Hazlitt
While we desire, we do not enjoy and with enjoyment desire ceases.
William Hazlitt
When the imagination is continually led to the brink of vice by a system of terror and denunciations, people fling themselves over the precipice from the mere dread of falling.
William Hazlitt
If our hours were all serene, we might probably take almost as little note of them as the dial does of those that are clouded.
William Hazlitt
Men will die for an opinion as soon as for anything else.
William Hazlitt
