A person may be very secretive and yet have no secrets.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
The man who has no problems is out of the game.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
I believe the Universe is planned for good.
Elbert Hubbard
Image
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 rather like the World. The Flesh is pleasing and the Devil does not trouble me.
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!

Righteous indignation: your own wrath as opposed to the shocking bad temper of others
Elbert Hubbard
Image
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.

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.
