More quotes by Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
People who are able to do their own thinking should not allow others to do it for them.
Elbert Hubbard
There are three sides to every question-where a divorce is involved.
Elbert Hubbard
One thing is sure, there are just two respectable ways to die. One is of old age, and the other is by accident.

Elbert Hubbard
The man who craves disciples and wants followers is always more or less of a charlatan. The man of genuine worth and insight wants to be himself and he wants others to be themselves, also.
Elbert Hubbard
If you work for a man, in Heavens name work for him! If he pays you wages that supply your bread and butter, work for him, stand by him, and stand by the institution he represents.
Elbert Hubbard
Editor: a person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed.
