William Hazlitt
Image

William Hazlitt
Image
The soul of a journey is liberty, perfect liberty, to think, feel, do just as one pleases.
William Hazlitt
Image
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
Image
The pleasure of hating, like a poisonous mineral, eats into the heart of religion, and turns it to ranking spleen and bigotry it makes patriotism an excuse for carrying fire, pestilence, and famine into other lands: it leaves to virtue nothing but the spirit of censoriousness.
William Hazlitt
Image
To write a genuine familiar or truly English style is to write as anyone would speak in common conversation, who had a thorough command and choice of words, or who could discourse with ease, force, and perspicuity, setting aside all pedantic and oratorical flourishes.
William Hazlitt
Image
We must be doing something to be happy.
William Hazlitt
Image
