Elbert Hubbard
If you don't advertise yourself you will be advertised by your loving enemies.
Elbert Hubbard
I believe in courtesy, in kindness, in generosity, in good cheer, in friendship and in honest competition. I believe there is something doing somewhere, for every man ready to do it. I believe I'm ready, RIGHT NOW.

Elbert Hubbard
Your neighbor is the man who needs you.
Elbert Hubbard
Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.
Elbert Hubbard
Down in their hearts, wise men know this truth: the only way to help yourself is to help others.
Elbert Hubbard
The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it.
Elbert Hubbard
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
A conservative is a man who is too cowardly to fight and too fat to run.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
