More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
I believe that the best way to prepare for a Future Life is to be kind, live one day at a time, and do the work you can do best, doing it as well as you can.
Elbert Hubbard
War is the sure result of the existence of armed men. That country which maintains a large standing army will sooner or later have a war. The man who prides himself on fisticuffs is going, some day, to meet a man who considers himself the better man, and they will test the issue.
Elbert Hubbard
Destruction, violence, ravages, murder, are perpetrated by statute law.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
The great man is not so great as folks think, and the dull man is not quite so stupid as he seems. The difference in our estimates of men lies in the fact that one individual is able to get his goods into the show-window, and the other is not aware that he has any show-window or any goods.
Elbert Hubbard
The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge.
Elbert Hubbard
The path of civilization is paved with tin cans.
Elbert Hubbard
We find what we expect to find, and we receive what we ask for.
Elbert Hubbard
An ounce of performance is worth more than a pound of preachment.
Elbert Hubbard
Why not be a top-notcher? A top-notcher is simply an individual who works for the institution of which he is a part, not against it.
Elbert Hubbard
Enthusiasm is like having two right hands.
Elbert Hubbard
Cultivate only the habits that you are willing should master you
