Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway.
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
Where much is expected from an individual, he may rise to the level of events and make the dream come true.

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
The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods.
Elbert Hubbard
We are not punished for our sins, but by them.
Elbert Hubbard
Genius is the ability to act rightly without precedent - the power to do the right thing the first time.
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
The only foes that threaten America are the enemies at home, and these are ignorance, superstition and incompetence.
Elbert Hubbard
