Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Logic: an instrument used for bolstering a prejudice.
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
Man creates both his god and his devil in his own image. His god is himself at his best, and his devil himself at his worst.
Elbert Hubbard
Life without absorbing occupation is hell joy consists in forgetting life.
Elbert Hubbard
