More From William Hazlitt

Familiarity doesn't breed contempt, it is contempt.
Contempt Familiarity
When you're working on a creative thing, everyone has an idea, and they're pushing it. the first time you work with anybody, you have to get comfortable with the way another person pushes hard for what they want. familiarity breeds contempt, people say. but i've found, for creative things, familiarity breeds peace of mind, because you realize you know someone better. you trust each other. you know not to take things a certain way, or a wrong way. you get to where you don't have to waste quite so much time with diplomacy. things are a little more efficient.
People Creative Mind
Often we blame the breed, but in my opinion, it's not the breed, it's the owner. the owner has to be the pack leader and provide exercise, discipline, then affection. if you do that, you'll have a sweet, loving, and balanced dog - no matter what breed!
Dog Sweet Exercise
Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. we don't want yellow cowards in this army. they should be killed off like rats. if not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. the brave men will breed more brave men. kill off the goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.
War Home Army
It does not, however, seem impossible that by an attention to breed, a certain degree of improvement, similar to that among animals, might take place among men. whether intellect could be communicated may be a matter of doubt: but size, strength, beauty, complexion, and perhaps even longevity are in a degree transmissible... as the human race could not be improved in this way, without condemning all the bad specimens to celibacy, it is not probable, that an attention to breed should ever become general.
Men Animal Eugenics
Stick to the old truths and the old paths, and learn their di- vineness by sick-beds and in every-day work, and do not darken your mind with intellectual puzzles, which may breed disbelief, but can never breed vital religion or practical usefulness.
Truth Sick Mind
Similar Quotes
The bullshitter is neither on the side of the true or the side of the false. his eye is not on the facts at all. he does not reject the authority of the truth, as the liar does, and oppose himself to it. he pays no attention to it at all. by virtue of this, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.
Truth Lying Philosophy
So, i think that's the centerpiece of morality: don't lie. but to do that, you have to go a step further and find out what the truth is.
Truth Lying Thinking
You're trying your damndest, you strike out and they boo you. i act like it doesn't bother me, like i don't hear anything the fans say, but the truth is i hear every word of it and it kills me.
Trying Fans Truth Is
Veracity is the heart of morality.
