More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
The Great Man is a man who lives a long way off.
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
Freedom is a condition of mind, and the best way to secure it is to breed it.
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
I rather like the World. The Flesh is pleasing and the Devil does not trouble me.
Elbert Hubbard
There have always existed three ways of keeping the people loving and loyal. One is to leave them alone, to trust them and not to interfere. This plan, however, has very seldom been practised, because the politicians regard the public as a cow to be milked, and something must be done to make it stand quiet.
Elbert Hubbard
All wages are based primarily on productive power. Anything else would be charity.
Elbert Hubbard
All success consists in this: You are doing something for somebody - benefiting humanity - and the feeling of success comes from the consciousness of this.
Elbert Hubbard
Righteous indignation: your own wrath as opposed to the shocking bad temper of others
Elbert Hubbard
Progress comes from the intelligent use of experience.
Elbert Hubbard
You had better be a round peg in a square hole than a square peg in a square hole. The latter is in for life, while the first is only an indeterminate sentence.
Elbert Hubbard
A person may be very secretive and yet have no secrets.
Elbert Hubbard
Prison is a Socialist paradise where equality prevails, everything is supplied, and competition is eliminated.
Elbert Hubbard
Be pleasant until ten o'clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself.
Elbert Hubbard
It is only life and love that give love and life.
Elbert Hubbard
Where much is expected from an individual, he may rise to the level of events and make the dream come true.
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
I believe the Universe is planned for good.
Elbert Hubbard
Cultivate only the habits that you are willing should master you
Elbert Hubbard
We never ask God to forgive anybody except when we haven't.
Elbert Hubbard
