More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Why not be a top-notcher? A top-notcher is simply an individual who works for the institution of which he is a part, not against it.
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.
Elbert Hubbard
Time is an eternal guest that banquets on our ideals and bodies.
Elbert Hubbard
If you work for a man, in Heavens name work for him! If he pays you wages that supply your bread and butter, work for him, stand by him, and stand by the institution he represents.
Elbert Hubbard
Enthusiasm is the great hill-climber.
Elbert Hubbard
To supply a thought is mental massage but to evolve a thought of your own is an achievement. Thinking is a brain exercise and no faculty grows save as it is exercised.
Elbert Hubbard
Live truth instead of professing it.
Elbert Hubbard
A man who marries a woman to educate her falls victim to the same fallacy as the woman who marries a man to reform him.
Elbert Hubbard
Life is a paradox. Every truth has its counterpart which contradicts it and every philosopher supplies the logic his own undoing.
Elbert Hubbard
No man ever did or can do a great work alone.
Elbert Hubbard
Dogma is a lie reiterated and authoritatively injected into the mind of one or more persons who believe that they believe what someone else believes.
Elbert Hubbard
Do not go out of your way to do good whenever it comes your way. Men who make a business of doing good to others are apt to hate others in the same occupation. Simply be filled with the thought of good, and it will radiate you do not have to bother about it, any more than you need trouble about your digestion.
Elbert Hubbard
Genius is only the power of making continuous efforts.
Elbert Hubbard
Reason: The arithmetic of the emotions.
Elbert Hubbard
Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.
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
Man's greatest blunder has been in trying to make peace with the skies instead of making peace with his neighbors
Elbert Hubbard
Dreams can come true, but there is a secret. They're realized through the magic of persistence, determination, commitment, passion, practice, focus and hard work. They happen a step at a time, manifested over years, not weeks.
Elbert Hubbard
Responsibiliti es gravitate to the man who can shoulder them and the power to him who knows how
Elbert Hubbard
Destruction, violence, ravages, murder, are perpetrated by statute law.
