William Hazlitt
Image
Keep your misfortunes to yourself.
William Hazlitt
Image

William Hazlitt
Image
The way to secure success is to be more anxious about obtaining than about deserving it.
William Hazlitt
Image
The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure very much.
William Hazlitt
Image
Art is the microscope of the mind, which sharpens the wit as the other does the sight and converts every object into a little universe in itself. Art may be said to draw aside the veil from nature. To those who are perfectly unskilled in the practice, unimbued with the principles of art, most objects present only a confused mass.
William Hazlitt
Image
An accomplished coquette excites the passions of others, in proportion as she feels none herself.
William Hazlitt
Image
Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense a substitute for true knowledge.
William Hazlitt
Image
Prosperity is a great teacher adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind privation trains and strengthens it.
