We are fonder of visiting our friends in health than in sickness. We judge less favorably of their characters when any misfortune happens to them; and a lucky hit, either in business or reputation, improves even their personal appearance in our eyes.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Violent antipathies are always...

Violent antipathies are always suspicious, and betray a secret affinity.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

They [corporations] feel neith...

They [corporations] feel neither shame, remorse, gratitude, nor goodwill.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The silence of a friend common...

The silence of a friend commonly amounts to treachery. His not daring to say anything in our behalf implies a tacit censure.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

But of all footmen the lowest ...

But of all footmen the lowest class is literary footmen.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

There is a softness and a harm...

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

An accomplished coquette excites the passions of others, in proportion as she feels none herself.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

What I mean by living to one's...

What I mean by living to one's-self is living in the world, as in it, not of it: it is as if no one know there was such a person, and you wished no one to know it: it is to be a silent spectator of the mighty scene of things, not an object of attention or curiosity in it; to take a thoughtful, anxious interest in what is passing in the world, but not to feel the slightest inclination to make or meddle with it.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The soul of dispatch is decisi...

The soul of dispatch is decision.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The same reason makes a man a religious enthusiast that makes a man an enthusiast in any other way ... an uncomfortable mind in an uncomfortable body.

Asleep, nobody is a hypocrite

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end. There was a time when we were not: this gives us no concern. Why, then, should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be?

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Pure good soon grows insipid, ...

Pure good soon grows insipid, wants variety and spirit. Pain is a bittersweet, which never surfeits. Love turns, with a little indulgence, to indifference or disgust. Hatred alone is immortal.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

We find many things to which the prohibition of them constitutes the only temptation.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

No man can thoroughly master more than one art or science.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Weakness has its hidden resour...

Weakness has its hidden resources, as well as strength. There is a degree of folly and meanness which we cannot calculate upon, and by which we are as much liable to be foiled as by the greatest ability or courage.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

A knave thinks himself a fool,...

A knave thinks himself a fool, all the time he is not making a fool of some other person.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Vice is man's nature: virtue i...

Vice is man's nature: virtue is a habit -- or a mask. . . . The foregoing maxim shows the difference between truth and sarcasm.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

He who would see old Hoghton right Must view it by the pale moonlight.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Whatever excites the spirit of...

Whatever excites the spirit of contradiction is capable of producing the last effects of heroism; which is only the highest pitch of obstinacy, in a good or bad cause, in wisdom or folly.
