More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
We find what we expect to find, and we receive what we ask for.
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
Man, like Deity, creates in his own image.
Elbert Hubbard
The man who craves disciples and wants followers is always more or less of a charlatan. The man of genuine worth and insight wants to be himself and he wants others to be themselves, also.
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
Men are only as great as they are kind.
Elbert Hubbard
Man is not what he thinks he is, but what he thinks, he is.
Elbert Hubbard
We are not punished for our sins, but by them.
Elbert Hubbard
Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.
Elbert Hubbard
It is not to be wondered that men have worshiped the ocean, for in his depths they have seen mirrored the image of Eternity of Infinity. Here they have seen the symbol of God's great plan of oneness with His creatures, for the sea is the union of all infinite particles, and it takes the whole to make the one.
Elbert Hubbard
All good men are anarchists. All cultured, kindly men all gentlemen all just men are anarchists. Jesus was an anarchist.
Elbert Hubbard
An American religion: Work, play, breathe, bathe, study, live, laugh, and love.
Elbert Hubbard
Grammar is the grave of letters.
Elbert Hubbard
A poor man who eats too much, as contradistinguished from a gourmand, who is a rich man who ''lives well.''
Elbert Hubbard
Genius is only the power of making continuous efforts.
Elbert Hubbard
Happiness is a habit—cultivate it.
Elbert Hubbard
Opportunities for education should be within the reach of every individual, not for the lucky few.
Elbert Hubbard
The highest reward that God gives us for good work is the ability to do better work.
Elbert Hubbard
Give us a religion that will help us to live - we can die without assistance.
Elbert Hubbard
Time is an illusion-to orators.
Elbert Hubbard
