Creative Quotations from William Hazlitt (1778-1830) born on Apr 10 English writer, essayist; noted for essays on Characters of Shakespeare's Plays, 1817.

If I have not read a book before, it is, for all intents and purposes, new to me whether it was printed yesterday or three hundred years ago.

We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.

Great thoughts reduced to practice become great acts.

Our energy is in proportion to the resistance it meets.

The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure much.
