One said a tooth drawer was a kind of unconscionable trade, because his trade was nothing else but to take away those things whereby every man gets his living.

More quotes by William Hazlitt
Anyone is to be pitied who has just sense enough to perceive his deficiencies.
William Hazlitt
We talk little when we do not talk about ourselves.
William Hazlitt
The essence of poetry is will and passion.
William Hazlitt
Common sense, to most people, is nothing more than their own opinions.
William Hazlitt
An accomplished coquette excites the passions of others, in proportion as she feels none herself.
William Hazlitt
Believe all the good you can of everyone. Do not measure others by yourself. If they have advantages which you have not, let your liberality keep pace with their good fortune. Envy no one, and you need envy no one.
William Hazlitt
Learning is its own exceeding great reward.
William Hazlitt
Everything is in motion. Everything flows. Everything is vibrating.
William Hazlitt
We imagine that the admiration of the works of celebrated men has become common, because the admiration of their names has become so.
William Hazlitt
Mankind are so ready to bestow their admiration on the dead, because the latter do not hear it, or because it gives no pleasure to the objects of it. Even fame is the offspring of envy.
William Hazlitt
There are only three pleasures in life pure and lasting, and all derived from inanimate things-books, pictures and the face of nature.
William Hazlitt
The English (it must be owned) are rather a foul-mouthed nation.
William Hazlitt
Honesty is one part of eloquence. We persuade others by being in earnest ourselves.
William Hazlitt
Man is a poetical animal, and delights in fiction.
William Hazlitt
Virtue steals, like a guilty thing, into the secret haunts of vice and infamy, clings to their devoted victim, and will not be driven quite away. Nothing can destroy the human heart.
William Hazlitt
We uniformly applaud what is right and condemn what is wrong, when it costs us nothing but the sentiment.
William Hazlitt
The last sort I shall mention are verbal critics - mere word-catchers, fellows that pick out a word in a sentence and a sentence in a volume, and tell you it is wrong. The title of Ultra-Crepidarian critics has been given to a variety of this species.
William Hazlitt
Conceit is vanity driven from all other shifts, and forced to appeal to itself for admiration.
William Hazlitt
It might be argued, that to be a knave is the gift of fortune, but to play the fool to advantage it is necessary to be a learned man.
William Hazlitt
The thing is plain. All that men really understand, is confined to a very small compass to their daily affairs and experience to what they have an opportunity to know, and motives to study or practice. The rest is affectation and imposture.
William Hazlitt
