The dupe of friendship, and the fool of love; have I not reason to hate and to despise myself? Indeed I do; and chiefly for not having hated and despised the world enough. William Hazlitt

William Hazlitt quote: "I would like to spend the whole of my life traveling, if I..."
I would like to spend the whole of my life traveling, if I could anywhere borrow another life to spend at home. 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. William Hazlitt
