Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
No man ever did or can do a great work alone.
Elbert Hubbard
The great man is not so great as folks think, and the dull man is not quite so stupid as he seems. The difference in our estimates of men lies in the fact that one individual is able to get his goods into the show-window, and the other is not aware that he has any show-window or any goods.

Dreams can come true, but there is a secret. They're realized through the magic of persistence, determination, commitment, passion, practice, focus and hard work. They happen a step at a time, manifested over years, not weeks.
Elbert Hubbard
Life is a compromise between fate and free will.
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
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
Man's greatest blunder has been in trying to make peace with the skies instead of making peace with his neighbors
