More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
He who influences the thought of his times influences the times that follow.
Elbert Hubbard
Thoroughness characterizes all successful men. Genius is the art of taking infinite pains. All great achievement has been characterized by extreme care, infinite painstaking, even to the minutest detail.
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
It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires great strength to decide on what to do.
Elbert Hubbard
A man is not paid for having a head and hands, but for using them.
Elbert Hubbard
We find what we expect to find, and we receive what we ask for.
Elbert Hubbard
Life is a compromise between fate and free will.
Elbert Hubbard
Men whose lives are doubtful want a strong government and a hot religion
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
Do not dump your woes upon people — keep the sad story of your life to yourself. Troubles grow by recounting them.
Elbert Hubbard
He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.
Elbert Hubbard
Punishment - The justice that the guilty deal out to those that are caught.
Elbert Hubbard
A school should not be a preparation for life. A school should be life.
Elbert Hubbard
The great Big Black Things that have loomed against the horizon of my life, threatening to devour me, simply loomed and nothing more. The things that have really made me miss my train have always been sweet, soft, pretty, pleasant things of which I was not in the least afraid.
Elbert Hubbard
I would rather be able to appreciate things I can not have than to have things I am not able to appreciate.
Elbert Hubbard
In order to have friends, you must first be one.
Elbert Hubbard
A conservative is a man who is too cowardly to fight and too fat to run.
Elbert Hubbard
To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing and be nothing.
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 are not punished for our sins, but by them.
Elbert Hubbard
