Elbert Hubbard
When trouble comes, wise men take to their work weak men take to the woods.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
The valuable person in any business is the individual who can and will cooperate with others.
Elbert Hubbard
The great man is not so great as folks think, and the dull man is not quite so stupid as he seems. The difference in our estimates of men lies in the fact that one individual is able to get his goods into the show-window, and the other is not aware that he has any show-window or any goods.
Elbert Hubbard
Men are only as great as they are kind.
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
Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer to your goal.
Elbert Hubbard
Life consists in molting our illusions. We form creeds today only to throw them away tomorrow. The eagle molts a feather because he is growing a better one.
Elbert Hubbard
One can endure sorrow alone, but it takes two to be glad.
Elbert Hubbard
Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.
Elbert Hubbard
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.
Elbert Hubbard
A woman will doubt everything you say except it be compliments to herself.
Elbert Hubbard
God looked upon His work and saw that it was good. That is where the clergy take issue with him.
Elbert Hubbard
