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

Elbert Hubbard
The path of civilization is paved with tin cans.
Elbert Hubbard
To subjugate another is to subjugate yourself.
Elbert Hubbard
