More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Most people like hard work, particularly when they're paying for it.
Elbert Hubbard
A conservative is a man who is too cowardly to fight and too fat to run.
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
Charity: a thing that begins at home, and usually stays there.
Elbert Hubbard
Opportunities for education should be within the reach of every individual, not for the lucky few.
Elbert Hubbard
When trouble comes, wise men take to their work weak men take to the woods.
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
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

Elbert Hubbard
Character is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.
Elbert Hubbard
Life without absorbing occupation is hell joy consists in forgetting life.
Elbert Hubbard
Life consists in molting our illusions. We form creeds today only to throw them away tomorrow. The eagle molts a feather because he is growing a better one.
Elbert Hubbard
There is a wild, splendid, intoxicating joy that follows work well done.
Elbert Hubbard
Those who create beauty are also they who possess it.
Elbert Hubbard
No man ever did or can do a great work alone.
Elbert Hubbard
I believe it is possible that I shall make other creeds, and change this one, or add to it, from time to time, as new light may come to me.
Elbert Hubbard
Love is not really blind- the bandage is never so tight but that it can peep.
Elbert Hubbard
He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.
Elbert Hubbard
Genius is the ability to act rightly without precedent - the power to do the right thing the first time.
Elbert Hubbard
