William Hazlitt (10 April 1778 – 18 September 1830) was an English writer remembered for his humanistic essays and literary criticism, often esteemed the greatest English literary critic after Samuel Johnson. Indeed, Hazlitt’s writings and remarks on Shakespeare’s plays and characters are rivaled only by those of Johnson in their depth, insight, originality, and imagination.

A gentle word, a kind look, a good-natured smile can work wonders and accomplish miracles.
