The man who doesn't relax and hoot a few hoots voluntarily, now and then, is in great danger of hooting hoots and standing on his head for the edification of the pathologist and trained nurse, a little later on.

More quotes by 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
Men are only as great as they are kind.
Elbert Hubbard
Opportunities for education should be within the reach of every individual, not for the lucky few.
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
There are three sides to every question-where a divorce is involved.
Elbert Hubbard
War is the sure result of the existence of armed men. That country which maintains a large standing army will sooner or later have a war. The man who prides himself on fisticuffs is going, some day, to meet a man who considers himself the better man, and they will test the issue.
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
The secret of success is this: there is no secret of success.
Elbert Hubbard
There is a wild, splendid, intoxicating joy that follows work well done.
Elbert Hubbard
Fortitude: That quality of mind which does not care what happens so long as it does not happen to us.
Elbert Hubbard
Prosperity: that condition which attracts the lively interest of lawyers, and warrants your being sued for damages, or indicted, or both.
Elbert Hubbard
A man is not paid for having a head and hands, but for using them.
Elbert Hubbard
He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.
Elbert Hubbard
One great, strong, unselfish soul in every community would actually redeem the world.
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.
Elbert Hubbard
A little more patience, a little more charity for all, a little more devotion, a little more love with less bowing down to the past, and a silent ignoring of pretended authority brave looking forward to the future with more faith in our fellows, and the race will be ripe for a great burst of light and life.
Elbert Hubbard
A man's acts are usually right, but his reasons seldom are.
Elbert Hubbard
Charity: a thing that begins at home, and usually stays there.
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.
Elbert Hubbard
It is not deeds or acts that last: it is the written record of those deeds and acts.
Elbert Hubbard
