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 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

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

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

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

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

The vain man makes a merit of...

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

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

By despising all that has pre...

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

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

True modesty and true pride a...

True modesty and true pride are much the same thing: both consist in setting a just value on ourselves - neither more nor less.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

As hypocrisy is said to be th...

As hypocrisy is said to be the highest compliment to virtue, the art of lying is the strongest acknowledgment of the force of truth.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

It is better to drink of deep grief than to taste shallow pleasures.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

One is always more vexed at losing a game of any sort by a single hole or ace, than if one has never had a chance of winning it.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The history of mankind is a r...

The history of mankind is a romance, a mask, a tragedy, constructed upon the principles of POETICAL JUSTICE; it is a noble or royal hunt, in which what is sport to the few is death to the many, and in which the spectators halloo and encourage the strong to set upon the weak, and cry havoc in the chase, though they do not share in the spoil.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Natural affection is a prejud...

Natural affection is a prejudice; for though we have cause to love our nearest connections better than others, we have no reason to think them better than others.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The greatest reverses of fort...

The greatest reverses of fortune are the most easily borne from a sort of dignity belonging to them.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

I hate to be near the sea, and to hear it roaring and raging like a wild beast in its den. It puts me in mind of the everlasting efforts of the human mind, struggling to be free, and ending just where it began.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

To display the greatest power...

To display the greatest powers, unless they are applied to great purposes, makes nothing for the character of greatness.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Envy is a littleness of soul,...

Envy is a littleness of soul, which cannot see beyond a certain point, and if it does not occupy the whole space feels itself excluded.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The assumption of merit is ea...

The assumption of merit is easier, less embarrassing, and more effectual than the actual attainment of it.
