More quotes by William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
A hair in the head is worth two in the brush.
William Hazlitt
To speak highly of one with whom we are intimate is a species of egotism. Our modesty as well as our jealousy teaches us caution on this subject.
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
To be happy, we must be true to nature and carry our age along with us.
William Hazlitt
There cannot be a surer proof of low origin, or of an innate meanness of disposition, than to be always talking and thinking of being genteel.
William Hazlitt
The rule for traveling abroad is to take our common sense with us, and leave our prejudices behind.
William Hazlitt
If you think you can win, you can win. Faith is necessary to victory.
