More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires great strength to decide on what to do.
Elbert Hubbard
We find what we expect to find, and we receive what we ask for.
Elbert Hubbard
Time is an eternal guest that banquets on our ideals and bodies.
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
Every tyrant who ever lived has believed in freedom — for himself.
Elbert Hubbard
A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.
Elbert Hubbard
Faith is the effort to believe what your common sense tells you is not true.
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
Life consists in molting our illusions. We form creeds today only to throw them away tomorrow. The eagle molts a feather because he is growing a better one.
Elbert Hubbard
He who influences the thought of his times influences the times that follow.
Elbert Hubbard
Government is a kind of legalized pillage.
Elbert Hubbard
Would you make men better - set them an example. The millenium will never come until governments cease from governing, and the meddler is at rest.
Elbert Hubbard
Live truth instead of professing it.
Elbert Hubbard
The man who is so run down that he needs a vacation can never adjust or reform himself in two weeks. What he really needs is to re-transform his life.
Elbert Hubbard
Good health! Whenever you go out of doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of your head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost drink in sunshine greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and never waste a minute thinking about your enemies.
Elbert Hubbard
One thing is sure, there are just two respectable ways to die. One is of old age, and the other is by accident.
Elbert Hubbard
I believe in the hands that work, in the brains that think, and in the hearts that love...I believe in sunshine, fresh air, friendship, calm sleep, beautiful thoughts.
Elbert Hubbard
What others say of me matters little what I myself say and do matters much.
Elbert Hubbard
Happiness is a habit—cultivate it.
Elbert Hubbard
A good front is half the battle in love or war.
Elbert Hubbard
