More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Enthusiasm is the great hill-climber.
Elbert Hubbard
War is the sure result of the existence of armed men. That country which maintains a large standing army will sooner or later have a war. The man who prides himself on fisticuffs is going, some day, to meet a man who considers himself the better man, and they will test the issue.
Elbert Hubbard
Would you make men better - set them an example. The millenium will never come until governments cease from governing, and the meddler is at rest.
Elbert Hubbard
Falling in love is the beginning of all wisdom, all sympathy, all compassion, all art, all religion and in it's larger sense is the one thing in life worth doing.
Elbert Hubbard
If you want work well done, select a busy man - the other kind has no time.
Elbert Hubbard
I believe the Universe is planned for good.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Life in abundance comes only through great love.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Life is a paradox. Every truth has its counterpart which contradicts it and every philosopher supplies the logic his own undoing.
Elbert Hubbard
Do not dump your woes upon people — keep the sad story of your life to yourself. Troubles grow by recounting them.
Elbert Hubbard
It is a fine thing to have ability, but the ability to discover ability in others is the true test.
Elbert Hubbard
Young women with ambitions should be very crafty and cautious, lest mayhap they be caught in the soft, silken mesh of a happy marriage, and go down to oblivion, dead to the world.
Elbert Hubbard
The only foes that threaten America are the enemies at home, and these are ignorance, superstition and incompetence.
Elbert Hubbard
Charity: a thing that begins at home, and usually stays there.
Elbert Hubbard
Time is an eternal guest that banquets on our ideals and bodies.
Elbert Hubbard
