More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Reason: The arithmetic of the emotions.
Elbert Hubbard
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose.
Elbert Hubbard
When on the brink of complete discouragement, success is discerning that...the line between failure and success is so fine that often a single extra effort is all that is needed to bring victory out of defeat.
Elbert Hubbard
The path of civilization is paved with tin cans.
Elbert Hubbard
Friendship, like credit, is highest when it is not used.
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
Martyrs and persecutors are the same type of man. As to which is the persecutor and which the martyr, this is only a question of transient power.
Elbert Hubbard
Dignity is a mask we wear to hide our ignorance.
Elbert Hubbard
Wise Man: One who sees the storm coming before the clouds appear.
Elbert Hubbard
Nothing is permanent but change.
Elbert Hubbard
Those who do unlawful acts are no more sinners in the eyes of God than we who think them.
Elbert Hubbard
The average man believes a thing first, and then searches for proof to bolster his opinion
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
The man who is so run down that he needs a vacation can never adjust or reform himself in two weeks. What he really needs is to re-transform his life.
Elbert Hubbard
The new definition of a heathen is a man who has never played baseball.
Elbert Hubbard
Meanness is more in half-doing than in omitting acts of generosity.
Elbert Hubbard
The teacher is one who makes two ideas grow where only one grew before.
Elbert Hubbard
Gossip is vice enjoyed vicariously
Elbert Hubbard
Time is an eternal guest that banquets on our ideals and bodies.
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
