Landscape painting is the obvious resource of misanthropy.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The public is so in awe of its own opinion that it never dares to form any, but catches up the first idle rumour, lest it should be behindhand in its judgment, and echoes it till it is deafened with the sound of its own voice.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Poverty, labor, and calamity are not without their luxuries, which the rich, the indolent, and the fortunate in vain seek for.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Keep your misfortunes to yours...

Keep your misfortunes to yourself.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

People addicted to secrecy are...

People addicted to secrecy are so without knowing why; they are not so for cause, but for secrecy's sake.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

One said he wondered that leather was not dearer than any other thing. Being demanded a reason: because, saith he, it is more stood upon than any other thing in the world.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The title of Ultracrepidarian ...

The title of Ultracrepidarian critics has been given to those persons who find fault with small and insignificant details.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Those are ever the most ready ...

Those are ever the most ready to do justice to others, who feel that the world has done them justice.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

In exploring new and doubtful ...

In exploring new and doubtful tracts of speculation, the mind strikes out true and original views; as a drop of water hesitates at first what direction it will take, but afterwards follows its own course.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

You are never tired of painting, because you have to set down not what you know already, but what you have just discovered.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Painting for a whole morning gives one as excellent an appetite for one's dinner, as old Abraham Tucker acquired for his by riding over Banstead Downs.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Man is an intellectual animal,...

Man is an intellectual animal, and therefore an everlasting contradiction to himself. His senses centre in himself, his ideas reach to the ends of the universe; so that he is torn in pieces between the two, without a possibility of its ever being otherwise.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

One of the pleasantest things ...

One of the pleasantest things in the world is going on a journey; but I like to go by myself.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Painters... are the most livel...

Painters... are the most lively observers of what passes in the world about them, and the closest observers of what passes in their own minds.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

There is nothing good to be had in the country, or if there is, they will not let you have it.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The temple of fame stands upon...

The temple of fame stands upon the grave: the flame that burns upon its altars is kindled from the ashes of great men.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Our notions with respect to th...

Our notions with respect to the importance of life, and our attachment to it, depend on a principle which has very little to do with its happiness or its misery. The love of life is, in general, the effect not of our enjoyments, but of our passions.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Charity, like nature, abhors a...

Charity, like nature, abhors a vacuum. Next to putting it in a bank, men like to squander their superfluous wealth on those to whom it is sure to be doing the least possible good.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

I do not think that what is ca...

I do not think that what is called Love at first sight is so great an absurdity as it is sometimes imagined to be. We generally make up our minds beforehand to the sort of person we should like, grave or gay, black, brown, or fair; with golden tresses or raven locks; - and when we meet with a complete example of the qualities we admire, the bargain is soon struck.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

No truly great person ever tho...

No truly great person ever thought themselves so.
