More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Meanness is more in half-doing than in omitting acts of generosity.
Elbert Hubbard
Be pleasant until ten o'clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself.
Elbert Hubbard
Life in abundance comes only through great love.
Elbert Hubbard
It is not book learning young men need, nor instruction about this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebra which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies, do a thing.
Elbert Hubbard
To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing and be nothing.
Elbert Hubbard
Gossip is only the lack of a worthy memory.
Elbert Hubbard
The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods.
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
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
Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.
Elbert Hubbard
What others say of me matters little what I myself say and do matters much.
Elbert Hubbard
God is good, there is no devil but fear.
Elbert Hubbard
Genius is only the power of making continuous efforts.
Elbert Hubbard
The product of the head, heart and hand is a thing to be loved.
Elbert Hubbard
Falling in love is the beginning of all wisdom, all sympathy, all compassion, all art, all religion and in it's larger sense is the one thing in life worth doing.
Elbert Hubbard
Perfume: any smell that is used to drown a worse one.
Elbert Hubbard
Friendship, like credit, is highest when it is not used.
Elbert Hubbard
Life is a paradox. Every truth has its counterpart which contradicts it and every philosopher supplies the logic his own undoing.
Elbert Hubbard
Martyrs and persecutors are the same type of man. As to which is the persecutor and which the martyr, this is only a question of transient power.
Elbert Hubbard
Imitation is the sincerest form of insult.
Elbert Hubbard
