The slaves of power mind the cause they have to serve, because their own interest is concerned; but the friends of liberty always sacrifice their cause, which is only the cause of humanity, to their own spleen, vanity, and self-opinion.

Source: From a review of Byron, Childe Harold, cto. 4 (published in Yellow Dwarf, 2 May 1818).
-- William Hazlitt, (Apr 10 1778-1830), English writer, essayist; He wrote Characters of Shakespeare's Plays, 1817; also noted for essays on value of humanity.
