More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
The poor and ignorant will continue to lie and steal as long as the rich and educated show them how.
Elbert Hubbard
The artist needs no religion beyond his work.
Elbert Hubbard
Do not dump your woes upon people — keep the sad story of your life to yourself. Troubles grow by recounting them.
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
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
Of all blessings, no gift equals the gentle, trusting love and companionship of a good woman.
Elbert Hubbard
Morality is the thing upon which your friends smile, and immorality is the thing upon which they frown
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Human service is the highest form of self-interest for the person who serves.
Elbert Hubbard
Respectability is the dickey on the bosom of civilization.
Elbert Hubbard
The man who craves disciples and wants followers is always more or less of a charlatan. The man of genuine worth and insight wants to be himself and he wants others to be themselves, also.
Elbert Hubbard
The man who has no problems is out of the game.
Elbert Hubbard
A good front is half the battle in love or war.
Elbert Hubbard
All noise is waste. So cultivate quietness in your speech, in your thoughts, in your emotions. Speak habitually low. Wait for attention and then you low words will be charged with dynamite.
Elbert Hubbard
Orthodoxy is a corpse that doesn't know it's dead.
Elbert Hubbard
I believe the only way we can reach the Kingdom of Heaven is to have the Kingdom of Heaven in our hearts.
Elbert Hubbard
