Faithful Principles Partisanship

More From William Hazlitt

There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find englishmen doing it; but you will never find an englishman in the wrong. he does everything on principle. he fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles; he bullies you on manly principles; he supports his king on loyal principles and cuts off his king's head on republican principles.
Kings Patriotic Fighting
No man could bring himself to reveal his true character, and, above all, his true limitations as a citizen and a christian, his true meannesses, his true imbecilities, to his friends, or even to his wife. honest autobiography is therefore a contradiction in terms: the moment a man considers himself, even in petto, he tries to gild and fresco himself. thus a man's wife, however realistic her view of him, always flatters him in the end, for the worst she sees in him is appreciably better, by the time she sees it, than what is actually there.
Christian Character Men
The slaving poor are incapable of any principles: gentlemen may be converted to true principles, by time and experience. the middling rank of men have curiosity and knowledge enough to form principles, but not enough to form true ones, or correct any prejudices that they may have imbib'd: and 'tis among the middling rank, that tory principles do at present prevail most in england.

Whoever is open, loyal, true; of humane and affable demeanour; honourable himself, and in his judgement of others; faithful to his word as to law, and faithful alike to god and man....such a man is a true gentleman.

A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. it is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt...if the game runs sometime against us at home, we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake.

I want people to remember me that i was faithful, faithful to the gospel, faithful to the call that god gave me. and when i get to heaven, i'm going to ask him why he called me, because i was much used to milking cows and working on the farm than i was preaching.
