More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.
Elbert Hubbard
Man creates both his god and his devil in his own image. His god is himself at his best, and his devil himself at his worst.
Elbert Hubbard
Habit: The great economizer of energy.
Elbert Hubbard
There have always existed three ways of keeping the people loving and loyal. One is to leave them alone, to trust them and not to interfere. This plan, however, has very seldom been practised, because the politicians regard the public as a cow to be milked, and something must be done to make it stand quiet.
Elbert Hubbard
God looked upon His work and saw that it was good. That is where the clergy take issue with him.
Elbert Hubbard
One can play comedy, two are required for melodrama, but a tragedy demands three.

Elbert Hubbard
It is a fine thing to have ability, but the ability to discover ability in others is the true test.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
If you want work well done, select a busy man - the other kind has no time.
Elbert Hubbard
Prosperity: that condition which attracts the lively interest of lawyers, and warrants your being sued for damages, or indicted, or both.
Elbert Hubbard
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
