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.

A gentleman is one who understands and shows every mark of deference to the claims of self-love in others, and exacts it in return from them.

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

It has been the resolution of ...

It has been the resolution of mankind in all ages of the world. No people, no age, ever threw away the fruits of past wisdom, or the enjoyment of present blessings, for visionary schemes of ideal perfection. It is the knowledge of the past, the actual infliction of the present, that has produced all changes, all innovations, and all improvements - not (as is pretended) the chimerical anticipation of possible advantages, but the intolerable pressure of long-established, notorious, aggravated, and growing abuses.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

His hypothesis goes to this - ...

His hypothesis goes to this - to make the common run of his readers fancy they can do all that can be done by genius, and to make the man of genius believe he can only do what is to be done by mechanical rules and systematic industry. This is not a very feasible scheme; nor is Sir Joshua sufficiently clear and explicit in his reasoning in support of it.

One said a tooth drawer was a kind of unconscionable trade, because his trade was nothing else but to take away those things whereby every man gets his living.

Those only deserve a monument who do not need one; that is, who have raised themselves a monument in the minds and memories of men.

There is a feeling of Eternity in youth which makes us amends for everything. To be young is to be as one of the Immortals.

We cannot by a little verbal sophistry confound the qualities of different minds, nor force opposite excellences into a union by all the intolerance in the world. ... If we have a taste for some one precise style or manner, we may keep it to ourselves and let others have theirs. If we are more catholic in our notions, and want variety of excellence and beauty, it is spread abroad for us to profusion in the variety of books and in the several growth of men's minds, fettered by no capricious or arbitrary rules.

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

Vanity does not refer to the opinion a man entertains of himself, but to that which he wishes others to entertain of him.

Wit is the rarest quality to be met with among people of education, and the most common among the uneducated.

Pride erects a little kingdom of its own, and acts as sovereign in it.
