More quotes by Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard

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
Every man should have a college education in order to show him how little the thing is really worth.
Elbert Hubbard
Half the failures in life arise from pulling in one's horse as he is leaping. Happiness is a habit. Cultivate it.
Elbert Hubbard
There have always existed three ways of keeping the people loving and loyal. One is to leave them alone, to trust them and not to interfere. This plan, however, has very seldom been practised, because the politicians regard the public as a cow to be milked, and something must be done to make it stand quiet.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
I believe in the Motherhood of God.
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
I believe in courtesy, in kindness, in generosity, in good cheer, in friendship and in honest competition. I believe there is something doing somewhere, for every man ready to do it. I believe I'm ready, RIGHT NOW.
Elbert Hubbard
Martyrs and persecutors are the same type of man. As to which is the persecutor and which the martyr, this is only a question of transient power.
Elbert Hubbard
Perfume: any smell that is used to drown a worse one.
Elbert Hubbard
You can go wrong by being too skeptical as readily as by being too trusting. You can lead a boy to college but you cannot make him think.
Elbert Hubbard
An imitator is a man who succeeds in being an imitation.
Elbert Hubbard
In order to have friends, you must first be one.
Elbert Hubbard
