William Hazlitt
Image
We must be doing something to be happy.
William Hazlitt
Image
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
Image
The slaves of power mind the cause they have to serve, because their own interest is concerned but the friends of liberty always sacrifice their cause, which is only the cause of humanity, to their own spleen, vanity, and self-opinion.
William Hazlitt
Image
To create an unfavorable impression, it is not necessary that certain things should be true, but that they have been said.
William Hazlitt
Image

William Hazlitt
Image
Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end.
William Hazlitt
Image
