More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Art is nothing it's a way.
Elbert Hubbard
I believe it is possible that I shall make other creeds, and change this one, or add to it, from time to time, as new light may come to me.
Elbert Hubbard
The man who doesn't relax and hoot a few hoots voluntarily, now and then, is in great danger of hooting hoots and standing on his head for the edification of the pathologist and trained nurse, a little later on.
Elbert Hubbard
We work to become, not to acquire.
Elbert Hubbard
If you don't advertise yourself you will be advertised by your loving enemies.
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
I have noticed that youngsters given to the climbing habit usually do something when they grow up
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
In order to have friends, you must first be one.
Elbert Hubbard
So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private individuals will occasionally kill theirs.
Elbert Hubbard
A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.
Elbert Hubbard
Dignity is a mask we wear to hide our ignorance.
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
Cultivate only the habits that you are willing should master you
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
To supply a thought is mental massage but to evolve a thought of your own is an achievement. Thinking is a brain exercise and no faculty grows save as it is exercised.
Elbert Hubbard
The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge.
Elbert Hubbard
Put yourself in the other man's place and then you will know why he thinks certain things and does certain deeds.
Elbert Hubbard
I believe in the hands that work, in the brains that think, and in the hearts that love...I believe in sunshine, fresh air, friendship, calm sleep, beautiful thoughts.
Elbert Hubbard
There have always existed three ways of keeping the people loving and loyal. One is to leave them alone, to trust them and not to interfere. This plan, however, has very seldom been practised, because the politicians regard the public as a cow to be milked, and something must be done to make it stand quiet.
Elbert Hubbard
