Elbert Hubbard
Image
Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
Elbert Hubbard

The man who has no problems is out of the game.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
I have no perfect panacea for human ills. And even if I had I would not attempt to present a system of philosophy between the soup and fish.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Image
War is the sure result of the existence of armed men. That country which maintains a large standing army will sooner or later have a war. The man who prides himself on fisticuffs is going, some day, to meet a man who considers himself the better man, and they will test the issue.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.
Elbert Hubbard

All good men are anarchists. All cultured, kindly men all gentlemen all just men are anarchists. Jesus was an anarchist.
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
