The temple of fame stands upo...

The temple of fame stands upon the grave: the flame that burns upon its altars is kindled from the ashes of great men.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

To be wiser than other men is...

To be wiser than other men is to be honester than they; and strength of mind is only courage to see and speak the truth.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Most of the methods for measu...

Most of the methods for measuring the lapse of time have, I believe, been the contrivance of monks and religious recluses, who, finding time hang heavy on their hands, were at some pains to see how they got rid of it.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The last pleasure in life is ...

The last pleasure in life is the sense of discharging our duty.

I am then never less alone than when alone

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Weakness has its hidden resou...

Weakness has its hidden resources, as well as strength. There is a degree of folly and meanness which we cannot calculate upon, and by which we are as much liable to be foiled as by the greatest ability or courage.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

He who would see old Hoghton ...

He who would see old Hoghton right Must view it by the pale moonlight.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

We trifle with, make sport of...

We trifle with, make sport of, and despise those who are attached to us, and follow those that fly from us.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

There is nothing more likely ...

There is nothing more likely to drive a man mad, than the being unable to get rid of the idea of the distinction between right and wrong, and an obstinate, constitutional preference of the true to the agreeable.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The world loves to be amused ...

The world loves to be amused by hollow professions, to be deceived by flattering appearances, to live in a state of hallucination; and can forgive everything but the plain, downright, simple, honest truth.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Corporate bodies are more cor...

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 833 quotes

Many a man would have turned ...

Many a man would have turned rogue if he knew how.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Whatever is placed beyond the...

Whatever is placed beyond the reach of sense and knowledge, whatever is imperfectly discerned, the fancy pieces out at its leisure; and all but the present moment, but the present spot, passion claims for its own, and brooding over it with wings outspread, stamps it with an image of itself. Passion is lord of infinite space, and distant objects please because they border on its confines and are moulded by its touch.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Violence ever defeats its own...

Violence ever defeats its own ends. Where you cannot drive you can always persuade. A gentle word, a kind look, a god-natured smile can work wonders and accomplish miracles. There is a secret pride in every human heart than revolts at tyranny. You may order and drive an individual, but you cannot make him respect you.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Our energy is in proportion t...

Our energy is in proportion to the resistance it meets. We attempt nothing great but from a sense of the difficulties we have to encounter, we persevere in nothing great but from a pride in overcoming them.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

There are some persons who ne...

There are some persons who never succeed from being too indolent to undertake anything; and others who regularly fail, because the instant they find success in their power, they grow indifferent, and give over the attempt.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Painting gives the object its...

Painting gives the object itself; poetry what it implies. Painting embodies what a thing contains in itself; poetry suggests what exists out of it, in any manner connected with it.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The great have private feelin...

The great have private feelings of their own, to which the interests of humanity and justice must curtsy. Their interests are so far from being the same as those of the community, that they are in direct and necessary opposition to them; their power is at the expense of OUR weakness; their riches of OUR poverty; their pride of OUR degradation; their splendour of OUR wretchedness; their tyranny of OUR servitude.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

However we may flatter oursel...

However we may flatter ourselves to the contrary, our friends think no higher of us than the world do. They see us through the jaundiced or distrustful eyes of others. They may know better, but their feelings are governed by popular prejudice. Nay, they are more shy of us (when under a cloud) than even strangers; for we involve them in a common disgrace, or compel them to embroil themselves in continual quarrels and disputes in our defense.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

When we forget old friends, i...

When we forget old friends, it is a sign we have forgotten ourselves.
