More quotes by 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
Progress comes from the intelligent use of experience.
Elbert Hubbard
Charity: a thing that begins at home, and usually stays there.
Elbert Hubbard
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.
Elbert Hubbard
The man who has no problems is out of the game.
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
Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.
Elbert Hubbard
If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost you can still call him vile names.
Elbert Hubbard
Man is not what he thinks he is, but what he thinks, he is.
Elbert Hubbard
Wealth: A cunning device of Fate whereby men are made captive, and burdened with responsibilites from which only Death can file their fetters.
Elbert Hubbard
Self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.
Elbert Hubbard
Fortitude: That quality of mind which does not care what happens so long as it does not happen to us.
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 weaknesses of the many make the leader possible.
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
A good front is half the battle in love or war.
Elbert Hubbard
Punishment - The justice that the guilty deal out to those that are caught.
Elbert Hubbard
Every life is its own excuse for being.
Elbert Hubbard
Down in their hearts, wise men know this truth: the only way to help yourself is to help others.
Elbert Hubbard
Polygamy: An endeavour to get more out of life than there is in it
