Popularity is neither fame nor greatness.

The measure of any man's virtue is what he would do, if he had neither the laws nor public opinion, nor even his own prejudices, to control him.

We are all of us, more or less, the slaves of opinion.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

So I have loitered my life aw...

So I have loitered my life away, reading books, looking at pictures, going to plays, hearing, thinking, writing on what pleased me best. I have wanted only one thing to make me happy, but wanting that have wanted everything.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

He who comes up to his own id...

He who comes up to his own idea of greatness must always have had a very low standard of it in his mind.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Do not quarrel with the world...

Do not quarrel with the world too soon; for, bad as it may be, it is the best we have to live in, here. If railing would have made it better, it would have been reformed long ago.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

The soul of a journey is libe...

The soul of a journey is liberty, perfect liberty, to think, feel, do just as one pleases.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

We are very much what others ...

We are very much what others think of us. The reception our observations meet with gives us courage to proceed, or damps our efforts.

Some people break promises for the pleasure of breaking them.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Fame is the inheritance not of the dead, but of the living. It is we who look back with lofty pride to the great names of antiquity.

The humblest painter is a true scholar; and the best of scholars the scholar of nature.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

We grow tired of everything but turning others into ridicule, and congratulating ourselves on their defects.

William Hazlitt 833 quotes

Few things tend more to alienate friendship than a want of punctuality in our engagements. I have known the breach of a promise to dine or sup to break up more than one intimacy.

Satirists gain the applause of others through fear, not through love.
