Modesty is the lowest of the virtues, and is a real confession of the deficiency it indicates. He who undervalues himself is justly undervalued by others.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The more we do, the more we can do; the more busy we are, the more leisure we have.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Our energy is in proportion to the resistance it meets.

He who draws upon his own resources easily comes to an end of his wealth.

We may be willing to tell a story twice, never to hear it more than once.

Horus non numero nisi serenas (I count only the sunny hours).

A man is a hypocrite only when he affects to take a delight in what he does not feel, not because he takes a perverse delight in opposite things.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Affectation is as necessary to the mind as dress is to the body.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

There is a quiet repose and steadiness about the happiness of age, if the life has been well spent. Its feebleness is not painful. The nervous system has lost its acuteness. But, in mature years we feel that a burn, a scald, a cut, is more tolerable than it was in the sensitive period of youth.

Spleen can subsist on any kind of food.

The most phlegmatic dispositions often contain the most inflammable spirits, as fire is struck from the hardest flints.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Art is the microscope of the m...

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

To expect an author to talk as...

To expect an author to talk as he writes is ridiculous; or even if he did you would find fault with him as a pedant.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Avarice is the miser's dream, ...

Avarice is the miser's dream, as fame is the poet's.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Diffidence and awkwardness are antidotes to love.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Those who wish to forget painful thoughts do well to absent themselves for a while from, the ties and objects that recall them; but we can be said only to fulfill our destiny in the place that gave us birth.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Cant is the voluntary overchar...

Cant is the voluntary overcharging or prolongation of a real sentiment; hypocrisy is the setting up a pretension to a feeling you never had and have no wish for.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

We do not like our friends the worse because they sometimes give us an opportunity to rail at them heartily. Their faults reconcile us to their virtues.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

If we use no ceremony towards ...

If we use no ceremony towards others, we shall be treated without any. People are soon tired of paying trifling attentions to those who receive them with coldness, and return them with neglect.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The number of objects we see f...

The number of objects we see from living in a large city amuses the mind like a perpetual raree-show, without supplying it with any ideas.
