More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Impossible things are simply those which so far have never been done.
Elbert Hubbard
A poor man who eats too much, as contradistinguished from a gourmand, who is a rich man who ''lives well.''
Elbert Hubbard
I have no perfect panacea for human ills. And even if I had I would not attempt to present a system of philosophy between the soup and fish.
Elbert Hubbard
I believe it is possible that I shall make other creeds, and change this one, or add to it, from time to time, as new light may come to me.
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
All wages are based primarily on productive power. Anything else would be charity.
Elbert Hubbard
Woman's inaptitude for reasoning has not prevented her from arriving at truth nor has man's ability to reason prevented him from floundering in absurdity.
Elbert Hubbard
Would you make men better - set them an example. The millenium will never come until governments cease from governing, and the meddler is at rest.
Elbert Hubbard
Men are only as great as they are kind.
Elbert Hubbard
The newspapers print what the people want, and thus does the savage still swing his club and flourish his spear.
Elbert Hubbard
Perfume: any smell that is used to drown a worse one.
Elbert Hubbard
The Businessman is one who supplies something great and good to the world, and collects from the world for the goods.
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
The only way to retain love is to give it away.
Elbert Hubbard
Good health! Whenever you go out of doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of your head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost drink in sunshine greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and never waste a minute thinking about your enemies.
Elbert Hubbard
To make mistakes is human, but to profit from them is divine.
Elbert Hubbard
There is something that is much more scarce, something finer far, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability.
Elbert Hubbard
If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost you can still call him vile names.
Elbert Hubbard
A man's acts are usually right, but his reasons seldom are.
Elbert Hubbard
If you don't advertise yourself you will be advertised by your loving enemies.
Elbert Hubbard
