If our hours were all serene,...

If our hours were all serene, we might probably take almost as little note of them as the dial does of those that are clouded.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Walk groundly, talk profoundl...

Walk groundly, talk profoundly, drink roundly, sleep soundly.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The only true retirement is t...

The only true retirement is that of the heart; the only true leisure is the repose of the passions. To such persons it makes little difference whether they are young or old; and they die as they have lived, with graceful resignation.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The contemplation of truth an...

The contemplation of truth and beauty is the proper object for which we were created, which calls forth the most intense desires of the soul, and of which it never tires.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The soul of dispatch is decis...

The soul of dispatch is decision.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Taste is nothing but an enlarged capacity for receiving pleasure from works of imagination.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The last sort I shall mention...

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 833 quotes

The great requisite for the prosperous management of ordinary business is the want of imagination.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Every man, in judging of hims...

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 833 quotes

Vice is man's nature: virtue ...

Vice is man's nature: virtue is a habit--or a mask.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Poverty is the test of civility and the touchstone of friendship.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Avarice is the miser's dream,...

Avarice is the miser's dream, as fame is the poet's.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

One of the pleasantest things...

One of the pleasantest things in the world is going on a journey; I can enjoy society in a room; but out of doors, nature is company enough for me. I am then never less alone than when alone.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Our contempt for others prove...

Our contempt for others proves nothing but the illiberality and narrowness of our own views.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Indolence is a delightful but...

Indolence is a delightful but distressing state; we must be doing something to be happy. Action is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

A man in love prefers his pas...

A man in love prefers his passion to every other consideration, and is fonder of his mistress than he is of virtue. Should she prove vicious, she makes vice lovely in his eyes.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

It is well there is no one without fault; for he would not have a friend in the world. He would seem to belong to s different species.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

They [corporations] feel neit...

They [corporations] feel neither shame, remorse, gratitude, nor goodwill.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

I have a much greater ambition to be the best racket player than the best prose writer.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Learning is, in too many case...

Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense; a substitute for true knowledge.
