More From William Hazlitt
- "The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves."
- "The seat of knowledge is in the head; of wisdom, in the heart. We are sure to judge wrong, if we do not feel right."
- "To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind."
More In Government
- "If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual."― Frank Herbert
- "Say what you like about my bloody murderous government,’ I says, ‘but don’t insult me poor bleedin’ country."― Edward Abbey
- "Government cannot do it all. As we work hard to break welfare dependency and get young people ready for the labour market, we need businesses to give them a chance and not just fall back on labour from abroad."― Iain Duncan Smith
