More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Respectability is the dickey on the bosom of civilization.
Elbert Hubbard
Down in their hearts, wise men know this truth: the only way to help yourself is to help others.
Elbert Hubbard
Every man should have a college education in order to show him how little the thing is really worth.
Elbert Hubbard
Meanness is more in half-doing than in omitting acts of generosity.
Elbert Hubbard
A woman will doubt everything you say except it be compliments to herself.
Elbert Hubbard
The man who craves disciples and wants followers is always more or less of a charlatan. The man of genuine worth and insight wants to be himself and he wants others to be themselves, also.
Elbert Hubbard
In God's great vaudeville, Mother is the headliner.
Elbert Hubbard
The product of the head, heart and hand is a thing to be loved.
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
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
Nothing is permanent but change.
Elbert Hubbard
Faith is the effort to believe what your common sense tells you is not true.
Elbert Hubbard
Blessed is the man who has found someone to do his work.
Elbert Hubbard
A school should not be a preparation for life. A school should be life.
Elbert Hubbard
He who influences the thought of his times influences the times that follow.
Elbert Hubbard
No one ever gets far unless he accomplishes the impossible at least once a day.
Elbert Hubbard
Pessimist: One who has been intimately acquainted with an Optimist.
Elbert Hubbard
The newspapers print what the people want, and thus does the savage still swing his club and flourish his spear.
Elbert Hubbard
I believe in the Motherhood of God.
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
