More From William Hazlitt
- "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."
- "A grave blockhead should always go about with a lively one – they show one another off to the best advantage."
- "There is a heroism in crime as well as in virtue. Vice and infamy have their altars and their religion."
More In Government
- "Some people object to libertarian ideas because there are too many irresponsible people in the world – people who will cause trouble if the government doesn’t restrain them."― Harry Browne
- "For me, journalism has been more a matter of projecting a particular approach to covering policies, to covering issues. It was a continuation of what I tried to do in government."― Eliot Spitzer
- "Until the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most conspicuous and sacred responsibility, all talks of the sovereignty of Parliament and of democracy is idle and futile."― William Lyon Mackenzie King
