More quotes by Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Life in abundance comes only through great love.
Elbert Hubbard
Many people fail in life, not for lack of ability or brains or even courage but simply because they have never organized their energies around a goal.
Elbert Hubbard
Life is a paradox. Every truth has its counterpart which contradicts it and every philosopher supplies the logic his own undoing.
Elbert Hubbard
Talent does things tolerably well genius does then intolerably better
Elbert Hubbard
No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.
Elbert Hubbard
Positive anything is better than negative nothing.
Elbert Hubbard
If you don't advertise yourself you will be advertised by your loving enemies.
Elbert Hubbard
We make our money out of our friends. Our enemies will not do business with us.
Elbert Hubbard
The man who has no problems is out of the game.
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
A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.
Elbert Hubbard
There are three sides to every question-where a divorce is involved.
Elbert Hubbard
To supply a thought is mental massage but to evolve a thought of your own is an achievement. Thinking is a brain exercise and no faculty grows save as it is exercised.
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
We work to become, not to acquire.
Elbert Hubbard
