When on the brink of complete discouragement, success is discerning that...the line between failure and success is so fine that often a single extra effort is all that is needed to bring victory out of defeat.

More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
One great, strong, unselfish soul in every community would actually redeem the world.
Elbert Hubbard
A good front is half the battle in love or war.
Elbert Hubbard
Self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.
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
A retentive memory may be a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness.
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
Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer to your goal.
Elbert Hubbard
Enthusiasm is the great hill-climber.
Elbert Hubbard
An imitator is a man who succeeds in being an imitation.
Elbert Hubbard
You had better be a round peg in a square hole than a square peg in a square hole. The latter is in for life, while the first is only an indeterminate sentence.
Elbert Hubbard
Art is not a thing it is a way.
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
Polygamy: An endeavour to get more out of life than there is in it
Elbert Hubbard
He who influences the thought of his times influences the times that follow.
Elbert Hubbard
No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.
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.
Elbert Hubbard
Pessimist: One who has been intimately acquainted with an Optimist.
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
The man who is so run down that he needs a vacation can never adjust or reform himself in two weeks. What he really needs is to re-transform his life.
Elbert Hubbard
Life in abundance comes only through great love.
Elbert Hubbard
