More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Thoroughness characterizes all successful men. Genius is the art of taking infinite pains. All great achievement has been characterized by extreme care, infinite painstaking, even to the minutest detail.
Elbert Hubbard
All wages are based primarily on productive power. Anything else would be charity.
Elbert Hubbard
The average woman sees only the weak points in a strong man, and the good points in a weak one.
Elbert Hubbard
The reason men oppose progress is not that they hate progress, but that they love inertia.
Elbert Hubbard
Those who create beauty are also they who possess it.
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
Impossible things are simply those which so far have never been done.
Elbert Hubbard
Meanness is more in half-doing than in omitting acts of generosity.
Elbert Hubbard
It is not to be wondered that men have worshiped the ocean, for in his depths they have seen mirrored the image of Eternity of Infinity. Here they have seen the symbol of God's great plan of oneness with His creatures, for the sea is the union of all infinite particles, and it takes the whole to make the one.
Elbert Hubbard
Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
Elbert Hubbard

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
Happiness is a habit—cultivate it.
Elbert Hubbard
Cultivate only the habits that you are willing should master you
Elbert Hubbard
The man who is so run down that he needs a vacation can never adjust or reform himself in two weeks. What he really needs is to re-transform his life.
Elbert Hubbard
The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.
Elbert Hubbard
Dignity is a mask we wear to hide our ignorance.
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
If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost you can still call him vile names.
Elbert Hubbard
Human service is the highest form of self-interest for the person who serves.
Elbert Hubbard
