More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
The only way to retain love is to give it away.
Elbert Hubbard
He who influences the thought of his times influences the times that follow.
Elbert Hubbard
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.
Elbert Hubbard
Religions are many and diverse, but reason and goodness are one.
Elbert Hubbard
No man ever did or can do a great work alone.
Elbert Hubbard
We are not punished for our sins, but by them.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
The man who knows it can't be done counts the risk, not the reward.
Elbert Hubbard
The average woman sees only the weak points in a strong man, and the good points in a weak one.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
The man who doesn't relax and hoot a few hoots voluntarily, now and then, is in great danger of hooting hoots and standing on his head for the edification of the pathologist and trained nurse, a little later on.
Elbert Hubbard
Respectability is the dickey on the bosom of civilization.
Elbert Hubbard
All noise is waste. So cultivate quietness in your speech, in your thoughts, in your emotions. Speak habitually low. Wait for attention and then you low words will be charged with dynamite.
Elbert Hubbard
Every tyrant who ever lived has believed in freedom — for himself.
Elbert Hubbard
God is good, there is no devil but fear.
Elbert Hubbard
Government is a kind of legalized pillage.
Elbert Hubbard
