More quotes by Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Morality is the thing upon which your friends smile, and immorality is the thing upon which they frown
Elbert Hubbard
The inspirations of today are the shams of tomorrow the purpose has departed.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Gossip is only the lack of a worthy memory.

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
Time is an illusion-to orators.
Elbert Hubbard
The only way to retain love is to give it away.
Elbert Hubbard
Imitation is the sincerest form of insult.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
