More quotes by William Hazlitt
They [corporations] feel neither shame, remorse, gratitude, nor goodwill.
William Hazlitt
Words are the only things that last for ever.
William Hazlitt
A distinction has been made between acuteness and subtlety of understanding. This might be illustrated by saying that acuteness consists in taking up the points or solid atoms, subtlety in feeling the air of truth.
William Hazlitt
Literature, like nobility, runs in the blood.
William Hazlitt
A knave thinks himself a fool, all the time he is not making a fool of some other person.
William Hazlitt
A man knows his companion in a long journey and a little inn.
William Hazlitt
To impress the idea of power on others, they must be made in some way to feel it.
William Hazlitt
People do not persist in their vices because they are not weary of them, but because they cannot leave them off. It is the nature of vice to leave us no resource but in itself.
William Hazlitt
[Science is] the desire to know causes.
William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
The secret of the difficulties of those people who make a great deal of money, and yet are always in want of it, is this-they throw it away as soon as they get it on the first whim or extravagance that strikes them, and have nothing left to meet ordinary expenses or discharge old debts.
William Hazlitt
As we advance in life, we acquire a keener sense of the value of time. Nothing else, indeed, seems of any consequence and we become misers in this respect.
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
Men are in numberless instances qualified for certain things, for no other reason than because they are qualified for nothing else.
William Hazlitt
To be happy, we must be true to nature and carry our age along with us.
William Hazlitt
Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end.
William Hazlitt
People are not soured by misfortune, but by the reception they meet with in it.
William Hazlitt
Wrong dressed out in pride, pomp, and circumstance has more attraction than abstract right.
William Hazlitt
One shining quality lends a lustre to another, or hides some glaring defect.
William Hazlitt
Every man, in his own opinion, forms an exception to the ordinary rules of morality.
William Hazlitt
