The imagination is of so deli...

The imagination is of so delicate a texture that even words wound it.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

He is a hypocrite who profess...

He is a hypocrite who professes what he does not believe; not he who does not practice all he wishes or approves.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

I am proud up to the point of...

I am proud up to the point of equality; everything above or below that appears to me arrant impertinence or abject meanness.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

There is a softness and a har...

There is a softness and a harmony in the words and in the thought unparalleled. Of all conceits it is surely the most classical. "I count only the hours that are serene.".

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Wonder at the first sight of ...

Wonder at the first sight of works of art may be the effect of ignorance and novelty; but real admiration and permanent delight in them are the growth of taste and knowledge.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Greatness is great power, pro...

Greatness is great power, producing great effects. It is not enough that a man has great power in himself, he must shew it to all the world in a way that cannot be hid or gainsaid.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The most fluent talkers or mo...

The most fluent talkers or most plausible reasoners are not always the justest thinkers.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

By despising all that has pre...

By despising all that has preceded us, we teach others to despise ourselves.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Happy are they who live in th...

Happy are they who live in the dream of their own existence, and see all things in the light of their own minds; who walk by faith and hope; to whom the guiding star of their youth still shines from afar, and into whom the spirit of the world has not entered! They have not been "hurt by the archers", nor has the iron entered their souls. The world has no hand on them.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The vain man makes a merit of...

The vain man makes a merit of misfortune, and triumphs in his disgrace.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

One truth discovered, one pan...

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

It may be made a question whe...

It may be made a question whether men grow wiser as they grow older, anymore than they grow stronger or healthier or honest.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

First impressions are often t...

First impressions are often the truest, as we find (not unfrequently) to our cost when we have been wheedled out of them by plausible professions or actions. A man's look is the work of years, it is stamped on his countenance by the events of his whole life, nay, more, by the hand of nature, and it is not to be got rid of easily.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Truth from the mouth of an ho...

Truth from the mouth of an honest man and severity from a good-natured man have a double effect.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The rule for traveling abroad...

The rule for traveling abroad is to take our common sense with us, and leave our prejudices behind.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Art is the microscope of the ...

Art is the microscope of the mind, which sharpens the wit as the other does the sight; and converts every object into a little universe in itself. Art may be said to draw aside the veil from nature. To those who are perfectly unskilled in the practice, unimbued with the principles of art, most objects present only a confused mass.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The most sensible people to b...

The most sensible people to be met with in society are men of business and of the world, who argue from what they see and know, instead of spinning cobweb distinctions of what things ought to be.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The amiable is the voluptuous...

The amiable is the voluptuous in expression or manner. The sense of pleasure in ourselves is that which excites it in others; or, the art of pleasing is to seem pleased.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The characteristic of Chaucer...

The characteristic of Chaucer is intensity: of Spencer, remoteness: of Milton elevation and of Shakespeare everything.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Within my heart is lurking su...

Within my heart is lurking suspicion, and base fear, and shame and hate; but above all, tyrannous love sits throned, crowned with her graces, silent and in tears.
