No act terminating in itself constitutes greatness.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Life is a continued struggle to be what we are not, and to do what we cannot.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Comedy naturally wears itself ...

Comedy naturally wears itself out - destroys the very food on which it lives; and by constantly and successfully exposing the follies and weaknesses of mankind to ridicule, in the end leaves itself nothing worth laughing at.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

They are the only honest hypocrites, their life is a voluntary dream, a studied madness.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

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

True friendship is self-love at second-hand.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

We are not satisfied to be right, unless we can prove others to be quite wrong.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

He who is as faithful to his principles as he is to himself is the true partisan.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Society is a more level surface than we imagine. Wise men or absolute fools are hard to be met with, as there are few giants or dwarfs.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

We all wear some disguise, make some professions, use some artifice, to set ourselves off as being better than we are; and yet it is not denied that we have some good intentions and praiseworthy qualities at bottom.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

We do not die wholly at our deaths: we have mouldered away gradually long before. Faculty after faculty, interest after interest, attachment after attachment disappear: we are torn from ourselves while living.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

We never do anything well till...

We never do anything well till we cease to think about the manner of doing it. This is the reason why it is so difficult for any but natives to speak a language correctly or idiomatically.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Death is the greatest evil, because it cuts off hope.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Honesty is one part of eloquence. We persuade others by being in earnest ourselves.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Those who have had none of the cares of this life to harass and disturb them, have been obliged to have recourse to the hopes and fears of the next to vary the prospect before them.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The greatest grossness sometimes accompanies the greatest refinement, as a natural relief.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

He who comes up to his own idea of greatness must always have had a very low standard of it in his mind.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

From the height from which the great look down on the world all the rest of mankind seem equal.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

We often forget our dreams so speedily: if we cannot catch them as they are passing out at the door, we never set eyes on them again.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Persons who undertake to pry into, or cleanse out all the filth of a common sewer, either cannot have very nice noses, or will soon lose them.
