More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
The reason men oppose progress is not that they hate progress, but that they love inertia.
Elbert Hubbard
The product of the head, heart and hand is a thing to be loved.
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
Government is a kind of legalized pillage.
Elbert Hubbard
A little more patience, a little more charity for all, a little more devotion, a little more love with less bowing down to the past, and a silent ignoring of pretended authority brave looking forward to the future with more faith in our fellows, and the race will be ripe for a great burst of light and life.
Elbert Hubbard
The average woman sees only the weak points in a strong man, and the good points in a weak one.
Elbert Hubbard
What others say of me matters little what I myself say and do matters much.
Elbert Hubbard
The heroic man does not pose he leaves that for the man who wishes to be thought heroic.
Elbert Hubbard
The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods.
Elbert Hubbard
Why not be a top-notcher? A top-notcher is simply an individual who works for the institution of which he is a part, not against it.
Elbert Hubbard
God looked upon His work and saw that it was good. That is where the clergy take issue with him.
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
A pessimist is a man who has been compelled to live with an optimist.
Elbert Hubbard
Talent does things tolerably well genius does then intolerably better
Elbert Hubbard
It is not to be wondered that men have worshiped the ocean, for in his depths they have seen mirrored the image of Eternity of Infinity. Here they have seen the symbol of God's great plan of oneness with His creatures, for the sea is the union of all infinite particles, and it takes the whole to make the one.
Elbert Hubbard
Man's greatest blunder has been in trying to make peace with the skies instead of making peace with his neighbors
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
Most reformers wore rubber boots and stood on glass when God sent a current of Commonsense through the Universe.
Elbert Hubbard
Those who do unlawful acts are no more sinners in the eyes of God than we who think them.
Elbert Hubbard
Every tyrant who ever lived has believed in freedom — for himself.
Elbert Hubbard
