More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
I believe in the Motherhood of God.
Elbert Hubbard
Self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.
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
The new definition of a heathen is a man who has never played baseball.
Elbert Hubbard
The church saves sinners, but science seeks to stop their manufacture.
Elbert Hubbard
The Businessman is one who supplies something great and good to the world, and collects from the world for the goods.
Elbert Hubbard
The inspirations of today are the shams of tomorrow the purpose has departed.
Elbert Hubbard
Often we can help each other most by leaving each other alone at other times we need the hand-grasp and the word of cheer.
Elbert Hubbard
In order to have friends, you must first be one.
Elbert Hubbard
Art is nothing it's a way.
Elbert Hubbard
It may happen sometimes that a long debate becomes the cause of a longer friendship. Commonly, those who dispute with one another at last agree.
Elbert Hubbard
All noise is waste. So cultivate quietness in your speech, in your thoughts, in your emotions. Speak habitually low. Wait for attention and then you low words will be charged with dynamite.
Elbert Hubbard
Time is an illusion-to orators.
Elbert Hubbard
If you don't advertise yourself you will be advertised by your loving enemies.
Elbert Hubbard
Logic is one thing and commonsense another.
Elbert Hubbard
I believe that the best way to prepare for a Future Life is to be kind, live one day at a time, and do the work you can do best, doing it as well as you can.
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
It is not book learning young men need, nor instruction about this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebra which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies, do a thing.
Elbert Hubbard
A man is not paid for having a head and hands, but for using them.
Elbert Hubbard
It is not deeds or acts that last: it is the written record of those deeds and acts.
Elbert Hubbard
