More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Reason: The arithmetic of the emotions.
Elbert Hubbard
A man's acts are usually right, but his reasons seldom are.
Elbert Hubbard
I would rather be able to appreciate things I can not have than to have things I am not able to appreciate.
Elbert Hubbard
Martyrs and persecutors are the same type of man. As to which is the persecutor and which the martyr, this is only a question of transient power.
Elbert Hubbard
One can play comedy, two are required for melodrama, but a tragedy demands three.
Elbert Hubbard
Prosperity: that condition which attracts the lively interest of lawyers, and warrants your being sued for damages, or indicted, or both.
Elbert Hubbard
Progress comes from the intelligent use of experience.
Elbert Hubbard
Friendship, like credit, is highest when it is not used.
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
Orthodoxy is a corpse that doesn't know it's dead.
Elbert Hubbard
When we really live truth, we will cease to talk about it.
Elbert Hubbard
God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.
Elbert Hubbard
The church saves sinners, but science seeks to stop their manufacture.
Elbert Hubbard
To make mistakes is human, but to profit from them is divine.
Elbert Hubbard
To supply a thought is mental massage but to evolve a thought of your own is an achievement. Thinking is a brain exercise and no faculty grows save as it is exercised.
Elbert Hubbard
God is good, there is no devil but fear.
Elbert Hubbard
An ounce of performance is worth more than a pound of preachment.
Elbert Hubbard
Real life is in love, laughter, and work.
Elbert Hubbard
If you work for a man, in Heavens name work for him! If he pays you wages that supply your bread and butter, work for him, stand by him, and stand by the institution he represents.
Elbert Hubbard
A school should not be a preparation for life. A school should be life.
Elbert Hubbard
