More quotes by William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt
No man can thoroughly master more than one art or science.
William Hazlitt
Corporate bodies are more corrupt and profligate than individuals, because they have more power to do mischief, and are less amenable to disgrace or punishment. They feel neither shame, remorse, gratitude, nor goodwill.
William Hazlitt
A nickname is the heaviest stone that the devil can throw at a man. It is a bugbear to the imagination, and, though we do not believe in it, it still haunts our apprehensions.
William Hazlitt
The more we do, the more we can do the more busy we are, the more leisure we have.
William Hazlitt
A knave thinks himself a fool, all the time he is not making a fool of some other person.
