More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Pessimist: One who has been intimately acquainted with an Optimist.
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
There is a wild, splendid, intoxicating joy that follows work well done.
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
I believe it is possible that I shall make other creeds, and change this one, or add to it, from time to time, as new light may come to me.
Elbert Hubbard
There have always existed three ways of keeping the people loving and loyal. One is to leave them alone, to trust them and not to interfere. This plan, however, has very seldom been practised, because the politicians regard the public as a cow to be milked, and something must be done to make it stand quiet.
Elbert Hubbard
God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.
Elbert Hubbard
It is not to be wondered that men have worshiped the ocean, for in his depths they have seen mirrored the image of Eternity of Infinity. Here they have seen the symbol of God's great plan of oneness with His creatures, for the sea is the union of all infinite particles, and it takes the whole to make the one.
Elbert Hubbard
The new definition of a heathen is a man who has never played baseball.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
The man who is so run down that he needs a vacation can never adjust or reform himself in two weeks. What he really needs is to re-transform his life.
Elbert Hubbard
Be pleasant until ten o'clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself.
Elbert Hubbard
Time is an eternal guest that banquets on our ideals and bodies.
Elbert Hubbard
Put yourself in the other man's place and then you will know why he thinks certain things and does certain deeds.
Elbert Hubbard
The brain is a commodity used to fertilize ideas.
Elbert Hubbard
Polygamy: An endeavour to get more out of life than there is in it
Elbert Hubbard
Give us a religion that will help us to live - we can die without assistance.
Elbert Hubbard
If you have no enemies you are apt to be in the same predicament in regard to friends.
Elbert Hubbard
A poor man who eats too much, as contradistinguished from a gourmand, who is a rich man who ''lives well.''
Elbert Hubbard
Life is a checkerboard, and the player opposite you is time. If you hesitate before moving, or neglect to move promptly, your men will be wiped off the board by time. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate indecision!
Elbert Hubbard
