More quotes by Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Progress comes from the intelligent use of experience.
Elbert Hubbard
The newspapers print what the people want, and thus does the savage still swing his club and flourish his spear.
Elbert Hubbard
If you don't advertise yourself you will be advertised by your loving enemies.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Opportunities for education should be within the reach of every individual, not for the lucky few.
Elbert Hubbard
Money never made a fool of anybody it only shows them up.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Wise Man: One who sees the storm coming before the clouds appear.
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
Religions are many and diverse, but reason and goodness are one.
Elbert Hubbard
The goal of evolution is self - conquest
Elbert Hubbard
I believe in courtesy, in kindness, in generosity, in good cheer, in friendship and in honest competition. I believe there is something doing somewhere, for every man ready to do it. I believe I'm ready, RIGHT NOW.
Elbert Hubbard
If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost you can still call him vile names.
Elbert Hubbard
Most people like hard work, particularly when they're paying for it.
