More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Luck is tenacity of purpose.
Elbert Hubbard
Love is not really blind- the bandage is never so tight but that it can peep.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Faith is the effort to believe what your common sense tells you is not true.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Do not go out of your way to do good whenever it comes your way. Men who make a business of doing good to others are apt to hate others in the same occupation. Simply be filled with the thought of good, and it will radiate you do not have to bother about it, any more than you need trouble about your digestion.
Elbert Hubbard
Most reformers wore rubber boots and stood on glass when God sent a current of Commonsense through the Universe.
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
Money never made a fool of anybody it only shows them up.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Genius is only the power of making continuous efforts.
Elbert Hubbard
Give us a religion that will help us to live - we can die without assistance.
Elbert Hubbard
Of all the mental and physical polluters of life, nothing exercises such a poisonous effect as fear.
Elbert Hubbard
If we cannot be powerful and happy and prey on others, we invent conscience and prey on ourselves.
Elbert Hubbard
The only foes that threaten America are the enemies at home, and these are ignorance, superstition and incompetence.
Elbert Hubbard
The valuable person in any business is the individual who can and will cooperate with others.
Elbert Hubbard
Life is a checkerboard, and the player opposite you is time. If you hesitate before moving, or neglect to move promptly, your men will be wiped off the board by time. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate indecision!
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.
