Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Image
I have no perfect panacea for human ills. And even if I had I would not attempt to present a system of philosophy between the soup and fish.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
There are three sides to every question-where a divorce is involved.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
Responsibiliti es gravitate to the man who can shoulder them and the power to him who knows how
Elbert Hubbard
Image
Fortitude: That quality of mind which does not care what happens so long as it does not happen to us.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
I believe the only way we can reach the Kingdom of Heaven is to have the Kingdom of Heaven in our hearts.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
There is something that is much more scarce, something finer far, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
One great, strong, unselfish soul in every community would actually redeem the world.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
Do not dump your woes upon people — keep the sad story of your life to yourself. Troubles grow by recounting them.
