More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Young women with ambitions should be very crafty and cautious, lest mayhap they be caught in the soft, silken mesh of a happy marriage, and go down to oblivion, dead to the world.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Genius is the ability to act rightly without precedent - the power to do the right thing the first time.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
I have no perfect panacea for human ills. And even if I had I would not attempt to present a system of philosophy between the soup and fish.
Elbert Hubbard
Play needs direction as well as work.
Elbert Hubbard
Polygamy: An endeavour to get more out of life than there is in it
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
The highest reward that God gives us for good work is the ability to do better work.
Elbert Hubbard
As a career, the business of an orthodox preacher is about as successful as that of a celluloid dog chasing an asbestos cat through hell.
Elbert Hubbard
Dignity is a mask we wear to hide our ignorance.
Elbert Hubbard
A pessimist is a man who has been compelled to live with an optimist.
Elbert Hubbard
