William Hazlitt

If you think you can win, you can win. Faith is necessary to victory.

The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves. We cannot force love.

Our repugnance to death increases in proportion to our consciousness of having lived in vain.

Grace in women has more effect than beauty.

Few things tend more to alienate friendship than a want of punctuality in our engagements. I have known the breach of a promise to dine or sup to break up more than one intimacy.

Belief is with them mechanical, voluntary: they believe what they are paid for -- they swear to that which turns to account. Do you suppose, that after years spent in this manner, they have any feeling left answering to the difference between truth and falsehood?

Look up, laugh loud, talk big, keep the color in your cheek and the fire in your eye, adorn your person, maintain your health, your beauty and your animal spirits.

Life is the art of being well deceived.

To be happy, we must be true to nature, and carry our age along with us.
