The most phlegmatic dispositi...

The most phlegmatic dispositions often contain the most inflammable spirits, as fire is struck from the hardest flints.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Like a rustic at a fair, we a...

Like a rustic at a fair, we are full of amazement and rapture, and have no thought of going home, or that it will soon be night.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

There is something captivatin...

There is something captivating in spirit and intrepidity, to which, we often yield as to a resistless power; nor can he reasonably expect, the confidence of others who too apparently distrusts himself.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Those who wish to forget pain...

Those who wish to forget painful thoughts do well to absent themselves for a while from, the ties and objects that recall them; but we can be said only to fulfill our destiny in the place that gave us birth.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Popularity disarms envy in we...

Popularity disarms envy in well-disposed minds. Those are ever the most ready to do justice to others who feel that the world has done them justice. When success has not this effect in opening the mind, it is a sign that it has been ill deserved.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

As we advance in life, we acq...

As we advance in life, we acquire a keener sense of the value of time. Nothing else, indeed, seems of any consequence; and we become misers in this respect.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Believe all the good you can ...

Believe all the good you can of everyone. Do not measure others by yourself. If they have advantages which you have not, let your liberality keep pace with their good fortune. Envy no one, and you need envy no one.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

This is the test and triumph ...

This is the test and triumph of originality, not to show us what has never been, and what we may therefore very easily never have dreamt of, but to point out to us what is before our eyes and under our feet, though we have had no suspicion of its existence, for want of sufficient strength of intuition, of determined grasp of mind to seize and retain it.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

We judge of others for the mo...

We judge of others for the most part by their good opinion of themselves; yet nothing gives such offense or creates so many enemies, as that extreme self-complacency or superciliousness of manner, which appears to set the opinion of every one else at defiance.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The admiration of power in ot...

The admiration of power in others is as common to man as the love of it in himself; the one makes him a tyrant, the other a slave.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

We do not like our friends th...

We do not like our friends the worse because they sometimes give us an opportunity to rail at them heartily. Their faults reconcile us to their virtues.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Or have I passed my time in p...

Or have I passed my time in pouring words like water into empty sieves, rolling a stone up a hill and then down again, trying to prove an argument in the teeth of facts, and looking for causes in the dark, and not finding them?

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

A great chess-player is not a...

A great chess-player is not a great man, for he leaves the world as he found it. No act terminating in itself constitutes greatness. This will apply to all displays of power or trials of skill, which are confined to the momentary, individual effort, and construct no permanent image or trophy of themselves without them

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The number of objects we see ...

The number of objects we see from living in a large city amuses the mind like a perpetual raree-show, without supplying it with any ideas.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Charity, like nature, abhors ...

Charity, like nature, abhors a vacuum. Next to putting it in a bank, men like to squander their superfluous wealth on those to whom it is sure to be doing the least possible good.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The idea of what the public w...

The idea of what the public will think prevents the public from ever thinking at all, and acts as a spell on the exercise of private judgment.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Want of principle is power. T...

Want of principle is power. Truth and honesty set a limit to our efforts, which impudence and hypocrisy easily overleap.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Horus non numero nisi serenas...

Horus non numero nisi serenas (I count only the sunny hours).

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Love at first sight is only r...

Love at first sight is only realizing an imagination that has always haunted us; or meeting with a face, a figure, or cast of expression in perfection that we have seen and admired in a less degree or in less favorable circumstances a hundred times before.

Affectation is as necessary to the mind as dress is to the body.
