More From William Hazlitt
- "Even in the common affairs of life, in love, friendship, and marriage, how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!"
- "Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves."
- "Do not keep on with a mockery of friendship after the substance is gone – but part, while you can part friends. Bury the carcass of friendship: it is not worth embalming."

- "Perhaps the greatest social service that can be rendered by anybody to the country and to mankind is to bring up a family."― George Bernard Shaw
