More quotes by Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Love, we say, is life but love without hope and faith is agonizing death.

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
Down in their hearts, wise men know this truth: the only way to help yourself is to help others.
Elbert Hubbard
A poor man who eats too much, as contradistinguished from a gourmand, who is a rich man who ''lives well.''
Elbert Hubbard
An ounce of performance is worth more than a pound of preachment.
Elbert Hubbard
