Famous quotes containing the word hazlitt:

    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    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 (1778–1830)

    There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our firends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please—that is, as they please or displease us.
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
