More From William Hazlitt

Envy is the most universal passion. we only pride ourselves on the qualities we possess, or think we possess; but we envy the pretensions we have, and those which we have not, and do not even wish for. we envy the greatest qualities and every trifling advantage. we envy the most ridiculous appearance or affectation of superiority. we envy folly and conceit; nay, we go so far as to envy whatever confers distinction of notoriety, even vice and infamy.
Passion Pride Thinking
Excluded from all fellowship at meals, excluded from all sacrifices, excluded from instruction and from matrimonial alliances, abject and excluded from all religious duties, let them wander over ,this earth.

Envy, envy eats them alive. if you had money, they’d envy you that. but since you don’t, they envy you for having such a good, bright, loving daughter. they envy you for just being a happy man. they envy you for not envying them. one of the greatest sorrows of human existence is that some people aren’t happy merely to be alive but find their happiness only in the misery of others.
Daughter Men People
Love rejoices in good wherever it finds it; envy is pained by good, and the sight of the happiness of others hurts the eyes and the heart of the envious man. love wishes to give; envy would rather receive. love creates; envy destroys. love builds up; envy pulls down. love helps those in need, comforts the afflicted, and strives to turn all that is evil into good; envy would turn the little happiness to be found in this world into evil, sorrow, and pain.
Love Hurt Pain
And the fear of not being is born in that space. but in meditation, when this is understood, the mind can enter into a dimension of space where action is inaction. we do not know what love is, for in the space made by thought around itself as the me, love is the conflict of the me and the not-me. this conflict, this torture, is not love. thought is the very denial of love, and it cannot enter into that space where the me is not. in that space is the benediction which man seeks and cannot find. he seeks it within the frontiers of thought, and thought destroys the ecstasy of this benediction.
Love Is Men Space
We ought to say, "occupy wall street, not iraq," "occupy wall street, not afghanistan," "occupy wall street, not palestine." the two need to be put together. otherwise people might not read the signs.

We in this country, in this generation, areby destiny rather than choicethe watchmen on the walls of world freedom. we ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of peace on earth, good will toward men. that must always be our goal, and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength. for as was written long ago: except the lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
