More quotes by William Hazlitt
By despising all that has preceded us, we teach others to despise ourselves.
William Hazlitt
Our opinions are not our own, but in the power of sympathy. If a person tells us a palpable falsehood, we not only dare not contradict him, but we dare hardly disbelieve him to his face. A lie boldly uttered has the effect of truth for the instant.
William Hazlitt
The best part of our lives we pass in counting on what is to come.
William Hazlitt
The rule for traveling abroad is to take our common sense with us, and leave our prejudices behind.
William Hazlitt
Of all eloquence a nickname is the most concise of all arguments the most unanswerable.
William Hazlitt
One shining quality lends a lustre to another, or hides some glaring defect.
William Hazlitt
There is nothing more to be esteemed than a manly firmness and decision of character.
William Hazlitt
It is essential to the triumph of reform that it should never succeed.
William Hazlitt
Vice, like disease, floats in the atmosphere.
William Hazlitt
Silence is one great art of conversation.
William Hazlitt
A proud man is satisfied with his own good opinion, and does not seek to make converts to it.
William Hazlitt
Literature, like nobility, runs in the blood.
William Hazlitt
Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end. There was a time when we were not: this gives us no concern. Why, then, should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be?
William Hazlitt
Those who have little shall have less, and that those who have much shall take all that others have left.
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
When I am in the country, I wish to vegetate like the country.
William Hazlitt
We may be willing to tell a story twice, never to hear it more than once.
William Hazlitt
The world dread nothing so much as being convinced of their errors.
William Hazlitt
Vice is man's nature: virtue is a habit -- or a mask. . . . The foregoing maxim shows the difference between truth and sarcasm.
William Hazlitt
The greatest grossness sometimes accompanies the greatest refinement, as a natural relief.
William Hazlitt
