More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Life is a checkerboard, and the player opposite you is time. If you hesitate before moving, or neglect to move promptly, your men will be wiped off the board by time. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate indecision!
Elbert Hubbard
Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.
Elbert Hubbard
The man who knows it can't be done counts the risk, not the reward.
Elbert Hubbard
Man, like Deity, creates in his own image.
Elbert Hubbard
Do not go out of your way to do good whenever it comes your way. Men who make a business of doing good to others are apt to hate others in the same occupation. Simply be filled with the thought of good, and it will radiate you do not have to bother about it, any more than you need trouble about your digestion.
Elbert Hubbard
It is only life and love that give love and life.
Elbert Hubbard
The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it.
Elbert Hubbard
The man who doesn't relax and hoot a few hoots voluntarily, now and then, is in great danger of hooting hoots and standing on his head for the edification of the pathologist and trained nurse, a little later on.
Elbert Hubbard
Self-control is the ability to restrain a laugh at the wrong place.
Elbert Hubbard
The average man believes a thing first, and then searches for proof to bolster his opinion
Elbert Hubbard
Talent does things tolerably well genius does then intolerably better
Elbert Hubbard
It is not deeds or acts that last: it is the written record of those deeds and acts.
Elbert Hubbard
Falling in love is the beginning of all wisdom, all sympathy, all compassion, all art, all religion and in it's larger sense is the one thing in life worth doing.
Elbert Hubbard
We work to become, not to acquire.
Elbert Hubbard
Art is nothing it's a way.
Elbert Hubbard
Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
Elbert Hubbard
Faith is the effort to believe what your common sense tells you is not true.
Elbert Hubbard
Respectability is the dickey on the bosom of civilization.
Elbert Hubbard
We never ask God to forgive anybody except when we haven't.
Elbert Hubbard
We are not punished for our sins, but by them.
Elbert Hubbard
