He who comes up to his own ide...

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

The greatest grossness sometim...

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

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Those who have had none of the...

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

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

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Death is the greatest evil, be...

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

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

We do not die wholly at our de...

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 all wear some disguise, mak...

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

Society is a more level surfac...

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

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

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

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

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Our lives are ruled by impermanence. The challenge is how to create something of enduring value within the context of our impermanent lives. Soka Gakkai
Great thoughts reduced to practice become great acts.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

One truth discovered, one pang...

One truth discovered, one pang of regret at not being able to express it, is better than all the fluency and flippancy in the world.

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

In what we really understand, ...

In what we really understand, we reason but little.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The measure of any man's virtu...

The measure of any man's virtue is what he would do, if he had neither the laws nor public opinion, nor even his own prejudices, to control him.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Books are a world in themselve...

Books are a world in themselves, it is true; but they are not the only world. The world itself is a volume larger than all the libraries in it.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Men are in numberless instance...

Men are in numberless instances qualified for certain things, for no other reason than because they are qualified for nothing else.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Those who have the largest hea...

Those who have the largest hearts have the soundest understandings; and they are the truest philosophers who can forget themselves.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

If goodness were only a theory...

If goodness were only a theory, it were a pity it should be lost to the world. There are a number of things, the idea of which is a clear gain to the mind. Let people, for instance, rail at friendship, genius, freedom, as long as they will -the very names of these despised qualities are better than anything else that could be substituted for them, and embalm even the most envenomed satire against them.
