More quotes by William Hazlitt
We can scarcely hate anyone that we know.
William Hazlitt
A nickname is the hardest stone that the devil can throw at a man.
William Hazlitt
If you think you can win, you can win. Faith is necessary to victory.
William Hazlitt
Every man, in judging of himself, is his own contemporary. He may feel the gale of popularity, but he cannot tell how long it will last. His opinion of himself wants distance, wants time, wants numbers, to set it off and confirm it.
William Hazlitt
Refinement creates beauty everywhere. It is the grossness of the spectator that discovers anything like grossness in the object.
William Hazlitt
Dandyism is a variety of genius.
William Hazlitt
It is a false principle that because we are entirely occupied with ourselves, we must equally occupy the thoughts of others. The contrary inference is the fair one.
William Hazlitt
Of all eloquence a nickname is the most concise of all arguments the most unanswerable.
William Hazlitt
The way to get on in the world is to be neither more nor less wise, neither better nor worse than your neighbours.
William Hazlitt
If mankind had wished for what is right, they might have had it long ago.
William Hazlitt
There is a softness and a harmony in the words and in the thought unparalleled. Of all conceits it is surely the most classical. I count only the hours that are serene..
William Hazlitt
An accomplished coquette excites the passions of others, in proportion as she feels none herself.
William Hazlitt
We had rather do anything than acknowledge the merit of another if we can help it. We cannot bear a superior or an equal. Hence ridicule is sure to prevail over truth, for the malice of mankind, thrown into the scale, gives the casting weight.
William Hazlitt
Shall I faint, now that I have poured out the spirit of my mind to the world, and treated many subjects with truth, with freedom, with power, because I have been followed with one cry of abuse ever since for not being a Government tool?
William Hazlitt
A hair in the head is worth two in the brush.
William Hazlitt
Man is a make-believe animal: he is never so truly himself as when he is acting a part.
William Hazlitt
The diffusion of taste is not the same thing as the improvement of taste.
William Hazlitt
You shall yourself be judge. Reason, with most people, means their own opinion.
William Hazlitt
Prosperity is a great teacher adversity a greater.
William Hazlitt
Zeal will do more than knowledge.
William Hazlitt
