More From William Hazlitt

People still think of aids as a shame-based disease, it's a sexually transmitted disease, and you're either gay or you're a prostitute or an intravenous drug user. and so a lot of people are still very bigoted about this disease. it's such a treatable disease. it's so - the end is in sight for this disease, medically.

Although as a rule the absurd culminates, and it seems impossible for the voice of the individual ever to penetrate through the chorus of foolers and fooled, still there is left to the genuine works of all times a quite peculiar, silent, slow, and powerful influence; and as if by a miracle, we see them rise at last out of the turmoil like a balloon that floats up out of the thick atmosphere of this globe into purer regions. having once arrived there, it remains at rest, and no one can any longer draw it down again.

I think the vice of our housekeeping is that it does not hold man sacred. the vice of government, the vice of education, the viceof religion, is one with that of the private life.
Men Thinking Vices
The vice i am talking of is pride or self-conceit: and the virtue opposite to it, in christian morals, is called humility...according to christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is pride. unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea bites in comparison: it was through pride that the devil became the devil: pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-god state of mind.
Christian Teacher Inspiration
A vice sanctioned by the general opinion is merely a vice. the evil terminates in itself. a vice condemned by the general opinion produces a pernicious effect on the whole character. the former is a local malady; the latter, constitutional taint. when the reputation of the offender is lost, he too often flings the remainder of his virtue after it in despair.
