More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
I believe in the hands that work, in the brains that think, and in the hearts that love...I believe in sunshine, fresh air, friendship, calm sleep, beautiful thoughts.
Elbert Hubbard
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.
Elbert Hubbard
Meanness is more in half-doing than in omitting acts of generosity.
Elbert Hubbard
The love we give away is the only love we keep.
Elbert Hubbard
Unleash your TRAVEL BEAST .... explore the world. It's time to begin your next adventure! No man needs a vacation so much as the person who has just had one.
Elbert Hubbard
A failure is a man who has blundered, but is not able to cash in the experience.
Elbert Hubbard
I have noticed that youngsters given to the climbing habit usually do something when they grow up

Elbert Hubbard
Reason: The arithmetic of the emotions.
Elbert Hubbard
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
The greatest mistake a person can make is to be afraid of making one.
Elbert Hubbard
Your neighbor is the man who needs you.
Elbert Hubbard
Talent does things tolerably well genius does then intolerably better
Elbert Hubbard
It is not deeds or acts that last: it is the written record of those deeds and acts.
Elbert Hubbard
There have always existed three ways of keeping the people loving and loyal. One is to leave them alone, to trust them and not to interfere. This plan, however, has very seldom been practised, because the politicians regard the public as a cow to be milked, and something must be done to make it stand quiet.
Elbert Hubbard
The man who knows it can't be done counts the risk, not the reward.
Elbert Hubbard
Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep. The only way to retain love is to give it away.
Elbert Hubbard
I wish to live without hate, whim, jealousy, envy, and fear. I wish to be simple, honest, frank, natural . . to face any obstacle and meet every difficulty unabashed and unafraid.
Elbert Hubbard
