All noise is waste. So cultivate quietness in your speech, in your thoughts, in your emotions. Speak habitually low. Wait for attention and then you low words will be charged with dynamite.

Polygamy: An endeavour to get more out of life than there is in it
Elbert Hubbard
In order to have friends, you must first be one.
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
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
No great spiritual event befalls those who do not summon it.

Elbert Hubbard
Half the failures in life arise from pulling in one's horse as he is leaping. Happiness is a habit. Cultivate it.
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
God is good, there is no devil but fear.

Elbert Hubbard
The path of civilization is paved with tin cans.
Elbert Hubbard
Victory a matter of staying power.
Elbert Hubbard
The weaknesses of the many make the leader possible.
Elbert Hubbard
I rather like the World. The Flesh is pleasing and the Devil does not trouble me.
Elbert Hubbard
Fortitude: That quality of mind which does not care what happens so long as it does not happen to us.
Elbert Hubbard
The reason men oppose progress is not that they hate progress, but that they love inertia.
Elbert Hubbard
Respectability is the dickey on the bosom of civilization.
Elbert Hubbard
The teacher is one who makes two ideas grow where only one grew before.
