There is a wild, splendid, intoxicating joy that follows work well done.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
Woman's inaptitude for reasoning has not prevented her from arriving at truth nor has man's ability to reason prevented him from floundering in absurdity.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
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
Image
Life is a checkerboard, and the player opposite you is time. If you hesitate before moving, or neglect to move promptly, your men will be wiped off the board by time. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate indecision!
Elbert Hubbard

One thing is sure, there are just two respectable ways to die. One is of old age, and the other is by accident.
