More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Genius is the ability to act rightly without precedent - the power to do the right thing the first time.
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
A person may be very secretive and yet have no secrets.
Elbert Hubbard
There is a wild, splendid, intoxicating joy that follows work well done.
Elbert Hubbard
The man who craves disciples and wants followers is always more or less of a charlatan. The man of genuine worth and insight wants to be himself and he wants others to be themselves, also.
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
Money never made a fool of anybody it only shows them up.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.
Elbert Hubbard

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
It may happen sometimes that a long debate becomes the cause of a longer friendship. Commonly, those who dispute with one another at last agree.
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
Men whose lives are doubtful want a strong government and a hot religion
Elbert Hubbard
The artist needs no religion beyond his work.
Elbert Hubbard
Habit: The great economizer of energy.
Elbert Hubbard
Dogma is a lie reiterated and authoritatively injected into the mind of one or more persons who believe that they believe what someone else believes.
Elbert Hubbard
Positive anything is better than negative nothing.
Elbert Hubbard
To supply a thought is mental massage but to evolve a thought of your own is an achievement. Thinking is a brain exercise and no faculty grows save as it is exercised.
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
