Cultivate only the habits that you are willing should master you
Elbert Hubbard
Image
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
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
Image
Art is nothing it's a way.
Elbert Hubbard

Be patient with the boys - you are dealing with soul-stuff.

All success consists in this: You are doing something for somebody - benefiting humanity - and the feeling of success comes from the consciousness of this.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
Give us a religion that will help us to live - we can die without assistance.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
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

Elbert Hubbard
Image
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
Image
Where much is expected from an individual, he may rise to the level of events and make the dream come true.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
Freedom is a condition of mind, and the best way to secure it is to breed it.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing and be nothing.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
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
Image
The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it.
Elbert Hubbard
