Quote by William Hazlitt
The most insignificant people are the most apt to sneer at others. They are safe from reprisals. And have no hope of rising in their own self esteem but by lowering their neighbors.
Summary
This quote suggests that those who are considered insignificant or of little importance are often the ones who are most critical of others. They feel secure in their position, as they believe they won't face any consequences for their behavior. Furthermore, these individuals may have low self-esteem and the only way they can feel better about themselves is by bringing others down. Their judgmental attitude reflects their own insecurities and inability to improve their own self-worth.
