More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Do not dump your woes upon people — keep the sad story of your life to yourself. Troubles grow by recounting them.
Elbert Hubbard
If you work for a man, in Heavens name work for him! If he pays you wages that supply your bread and butter, work for him, stand by him, and stand by the institution he represents.
Elbert Hubbard
All wages are based primarily on productive power. Anything else would be charity.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
The man who has no problems is out of the game.
Elbert Hubbard
Every man should have a college education in order to show him how little the thing is really worth.
Elbert Hubbard
The poor and ignorant will continue to lie and steal as long as the rich and educated show them how.
Elbert Hubbard
Be pleasant until ten o'clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself.
Elbert Hubbard
I believe the only way we can reach the Kingdom of Heaven is to have the Kingdom of Heaven in our hearts.
Elbert Hubbard
The brain is a commodity used to fertilize ideas.
Elbert Hubbard
There is something that is much more scarce, something finer far, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability.
Elbert Hubbard
