As we are poetical in our natures, so we delight in fable.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Nothing gives such a blow to friendship as the detecting another in an untruth. It strikes at the root of our confidence ever after.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Man is a poetical animal, and ...

Man is a poetical animal, and delights in fiction.

Genius only leaves behind it the monuments of its strength.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Men of the greatest genius are...

Men of the greatest genius are not always the most prodigal of their encomiums. But then it is when their range of power is confined, and they have in fact little perception, except of their own particular kind of excellence.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

There is nothing so remote fro...

There is nothing so remote from vanity as true genius. It is almost as natural for those who are endowed with the highest powers of the human mind to produce the miracles of art, as for other men to breathe or move. Correggio, who is said to have produced some of his divinest works almost without having seen a picture, probably did not know that he had done anything extraordinary.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

There cannot be a surer proof ...

There cannot be a surer proof of low origin, or of an innate meanness of disposition, than to be always talking and thinking of being genteel.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The expression of a gentleman'...

The expression of a gentleman's face is not so much that of refinement, as of flexibility, not of sensibility and enthusiasm as of indifference; it argues presence of mind rather than enlargement of ideas.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The look of a gentleman is lit...

The look of a gentleman is little else than the reflection of the looks of the world.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Grace in women has more effect...

Grace in women has more effect than beauty. We sometimes see a certain fine self-possession, an habitual voluptuousness of character, which reposes on its own sensations and derives pleasure from all around it, that is more irresistible than any other attraction. There is an air of languid enjoyment in such persons, 'in their eyes, in their arms, and their hands, and their face,' which robs us of ourselves, and draws us by a secret sympathy towards them.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Men of gravity are intellectua...

Men of gravity are intellectual stammerers, whose thoughts move slowly.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The truth is, we pamper little...

The truth is, we pamper little griefs into great ones, and bear great ones as well as we can.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

We would willingly, and withou...

We would willingly, and without remorse, sacrifice not only the present moment, but all the interval (no matter how long) that separates us from any favorite object.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

There are persons who are never easy unless they are putting your books and papers in order--that is, according to their notions of the matter--and hide things lest they should be lost, where neither the owner nor anybody else can find them. This is a sort of magpie faculty. If anything is left where you want it, it is called litter. There is a pedantry in housewifery, as well as in the gravest concerns. Abraham Tucker complained that whenever his maid servant had been in his library, he could not see comfortably to wo

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.

Poverty is the test of civilit...

Poverty is the test of civility and the touchstone of friendship.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Poverty, when it is voluntary,...

Poverty, when it is voluntary, is never despicable, but takes an heroical aspect.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

To be forward to praise others...

To be forward to praise others implies either great eminence, that can afford to, part with applause; or great quickness of discernment, with confidence in our own judgments; or great sincerity and love of truth, getting the better of our self-love.

Principle is a passion for truth.
