More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Real life is in love, laughter, and work.
Elbert Hubbard
The greatest mistake a person can make is to be afraid of making one.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard

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
If you want work well done, select a busy man - the other kind has no time.

Grammar is the grave of letters.
Elbert Hubbard
Respectability is the dickey on the bosom of civilization.
Elbert Hubbard
You can go wrong by being too skeptical as readily as by being too trusting. You can lead a boy to college but you cannot make him think.
Elbert Hubbard
Falling in love is the beginning of all wisdom, all sympathy, all compassion, all art, all religion and in it's larger sense is the one thing in life worth doing.
Elbert Hubbard
