More quotes by William Hazlitt
The confined air of a metropolis is hurtful to the minds and bodies of those who have never lived out of it. It is impure, stagnant--without breathing-space to allow a larger view of ourselves or others--and gives birth to a puny, sickly, unwholesome, and degenerate race of beings.
William Hazlitt
Prejudice is the child of ignorance.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
Landscape painting is the obvious resource of misanthropy.
William Hazlitt
Silence is one great art of conversation. He is not a fool who knows when to hold his tongue and a person may gain credit for sense, eloquence, wit, who merely says nothing to lessen the opinion which others have of these qualities in themselves.
William Hazlitt
Human life may be regarded as a succession of frontispieces. The way to be satisfied is never to look back.

William Hazlitt
The history of mankind is a romance, a mask, a tragedy, constructed upon the principles of POETICAL JUSTICE it is a noble or royal hunt, in which what is sport to the few is death to the many, and in which the spectators halloo and encourage the strong to set upon the weak, and cry havoc in the chase, though they do not share in the spoil.
William Hazlitt
We uniformly applaud what is right and condemn what is wrong, when it costs us nothing but the sentiment.
William Hazlitt
No act terminating in itself constitutes greatness.
William Hazlitt
Envy is littleness of soul.
William Hazlitt
The same reason makes a man a religious enthusiast that makes a man an enthusiast in any other way ... an uncomfortable mind in an uncomfortable body.
William Hazlitt
A life of action and danger moderates the dread of death. It not only gives us fortitude to bear pain, but teaches us at every step the precarious tenure on which we hold our present being.
William Hazlitt
Man is a make-believe animal: he is never so truly himself as when he is acting a part.
William Hazlitt
Common sense, to most people, is nothing more than their own opinions.
William Hazlitt
The worst old age is that of the mind.
William Hazlitt
