Cunning is the art of concealing our own defects, and discovering other people's weaknesses.More William Hazlitt quotes [08/14/2011 02:08:50]

Any woman may act the part of a coquette successfully who has the reputation without the scruples of modesty. If a woman passes the bounds of propriety for our sakes, and throws herself unblushingly at our heads, we conclude it is either from a sudden and violent liking, or from extraordinary merit on our parts, either of which is enough to turn any man's head who has a single spark of gallantry or vanity in his composition.More William Hazlitt quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

A man's reputation is not in his own keeping, but lies at the mercy of the profligacy of others. Calumny requires no proof.More William Hazlitt quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

Pride erects a little kingdom of its own, and acts as sovereign in it.More William Hazlitt quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

Art is the microscope of the mind, which sharpens the wit as the other does the sight; and converts every object into a little universe in itself. Art may be said to draw aside the veil from nature. To those who are perfectly unskilled in the practice, unimbued with the principles of art, most objects present only a confused mass.More William Hazlitt quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]
