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

Elbert Hubbard
A little more patience, a little more charity for all, a little more devotion, a little more love with less bowing down to the past, and a silent ignoring of pretended authority brave looking forward to the future with more faith in our fellows, and the race will be ripe for a great burst of light and life.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
It is not deeds or acts that last: it is the written record of those deeds and acts.
Elbert Hubbard
Half the failures in life arise from pulling in one's horse as he is leaping. Happiness is a habit. Cultivate it.
Elbert Hubbard
The average woman sees only the weak points in a strong man, and the good points in a weak one.
Elbert Hubbard
Every quarrel begins in nothing and ends in a struggle for supremacy.
Elbert Hubbard
A person may be very secretive and yet have no secrets.
Elbert Hubbard
