More quotes by William Hazlitt
Wit is the rarest quality to be met with among people of education, and the most common among the uneducated.
William Hazlitt
If we use no ceremony towards others, we shall be treated without any. People are soon tired of paying trifling attentions to those who receive them with coldness, and return them with neglect.
William Hazlitt
The vices are never so well employed as in combating one another.
William Hazlitt
Women never reason, and therefore they are (comparatively) seldom wrong.
William Hazlitt
Humour is the describing the ludicrous as it is in itself wit is the exposing it, by comparing or contrasting it with something else. Humour is, as it were, the growth of nature and accident wit is the product of art and fancy.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
Genius, like humanity, rusts for want of use.
William Hazlitt
Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry, cannot have much respect for himself, or for anything else.
William Hazlitt
The only impeccable writers are those who never wrote.
William Hazlitt
Indolence is a delightful but distressing state we must be doing something to be happy. Action is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame.
William Hazlitt
He will never have true friends who is afraid of making enemies.
William Hazlitt
Keep your misfortunes to yourself.
William Hazlitt
To be remembered after we are dead, is but poor recompense for being treated with contempt while we are living.
William Hazlitt
The diffusion of taste is not the same thing as the improvement of taste.
William Hazlitt
