Enthusiasm is like having two right hands.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
Do not go out of your way to do good whenever it comes your way. Men who make a business of doing good to others are apt to hate others in the same occupation. Simply be filled with the thought of good, and it will radiate you do not have to bother about it, any more than you need trouble about your digestion.

Image
Secrets are things we give to others to keep for us.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
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.

God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
Half the failures in life arise from pulling in one's horse as he is leaping. Happiness is a habit. Cultivate it.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
No man ever did or can do a great work alone.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
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
Image
We find what we expect to find, and we receive what we ask for.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
Meanness is more in half-doing than in omitting acts of generosity.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
It is not book learning young men need, nor instruction about this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebra which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies, do a thing.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
Faith is the effort to believe what your common sense tells you is not true.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
Pessimist: One who has been intimately acquainted with an Optimist.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
Opportunities for education should be within the reach of every individual, not for the lucky few.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
It's pretty hard to be efficient without being obnoxious.
