More quotes by William Hazlitt
Well I've had a happy life.
William Hazlitt
Affectation is as necessary to the mind as dress is to the body.
William Hazlitt
Within my heart is lurking suspicion, and base fear, and shame and hate but above all, tyrannous love sits throned, crowned with her graces, silent and in tears.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
Wit is, in fact, the eloquence of indifference.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
Violence ever defeats its own ends. Where you cannot drive you can always persuade. A gentle word, a kind look, a god-natured smile can work wonders and accomplish miracles. There is a secret pride in every human heart than revolts at tyranny. You may order and drive an individual, but you cannot make him respect you.
William Hazlitt
The most fluent talkers or most plausible reasoners are not always the justest thinkers.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
Walk groundly, talk profoundly, drink roundly, sleep soundly.
William Hazlitt
To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind.
William Hazlitt
You are never tired of painting, because you have to set down not what you know already, but what you have just discovered.
William Hazlitt
Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense a substitute for true knowledge.
William Hazlitt
He who is as faithful to his principles as he is to himself is the true partisan.
William Hazlitt
The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure very much.
William Hazlitt
