More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
Men whose lives are doubtful want a strong government and a hot religion
Elbert Hubbard
God looked upon His work and saw that it was good. That is where the clergy take issue with him.
Elbert Hubbard
Do not go out of your way to do good whenever it comes your way. Men who make a business of doing good to others are apt to hate others in the same occupation. Simply be filled with the thought of good, and it will radiate you do not have to bother about it, any more than you need trouble about your digestion.
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 man who craves disciples and wants followers is always more or less of a charlatan. The man of genuine worth and insight wants to be himself and he wants others to be themselves, also.
Elbert Hubbard
People who are able to do their own thinking should not allow others to do it for them.
Elbert Hubbard
Most people like hard work, particularly when they're paying for it.
Elbert Hubbard
Live truth instead of professing it.
Elbert Hubbard
Growth is often a painful process.
Elbert Hubbard
Grammar is the grave of letters.
Elbert Hubbard
In God's great vaudeville, Mother is the headliner.
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
Man, like Deity, creates in his own image.
Elbert Hubbard
Art is nothing it's a way.
Elbert Hubbard
The highest reward that God gives us for good work is the ability to do better work.
Elbert Hubbard
Unleash your TRAVEL BEAST .... explore the world. It's time to begin your next adventure! No man needs a vacation so much as the person who has just had one.
Elbert Hubbard
The newspapers print what the people want, and thus does the savage still swing his club and flourish his spear.
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
Enthusiasm is the great hill-climber.
Elbert Hubbard
Postponement: The father of failure.
