More From William Hazlitt
- "Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry, cannot have much respect for himself, or for anything else."
- "The world judge of men by their ability in their profession, and we judge of ourselves by the same test: for it is on that on which our success in life depends."
- "People of genius do not excel in any profession because they work in it, they work in it because they excel."
