More quotes by L. Ron Hubbard
The wrong thing to do about any given circumstance or situation is to do nothing.
L. Ron Hubbard
As South Africa has a white population of only 2.8 million or thereabouts, you can see that every other central organization in the world has been out-created.
L. Ron Hubbard
The differences between a competent person and an incompetent person are demonstrated in his environment (surroundings).
L. Ron Hubbard
Every separate sector of artistic creation has its own basic rules . . . data which govern it. They are contained in the textbooks on these subjects. A professional knows the rules of the game as a matter of course so that he can achieve, in the upper strata above that, a high quality of art.
L. Ron Hubbard
Dreams, goals, ambitions - these are the stuff man uses for fuel.
L. Ron Hubbard
The entire function of man is to survive. The outermost limit of endeavour is creative work. Anything less is too close to simple survival until death happens along. So I am engaged in striving to maintain equilibrium sufficient to at least realize survival in a way to astound the gods.
L. Ron Hubbard
There are vistas never dreamed of, there are joys never even known, there are glories no past glory ever surpassed. These wait for you but only if you accept my legacy and help bring these things about.
L. Ron Hubbard
The sudden and abrupt deletion of all individuals occupying the lower bands of the Tone Scale from the social order would result in an almost instant rise in the cultural tone and would interrupt the dwindling spiral into which any society may have entered.
L. Ron Hubbard
Any of us probably could do more important things than we are doing. Any of us could use some changes in our tasks. But none of us - and still stay alive and sane - could do without something to do.
L. Ron Hubbard
I am studying ancient civilizations, trying to find what happened to them, finding out why they went into a decline, why they died.
L. Ron Hubbard
A workman is not just a workman. A laborer is not just a laborer. An office worker is not just an office worker. They are living, breathing, important pillars on which the entire structure of our civilization is erected. They are not cogs in a mighty machine. They are the machine itself.
L. Ron Hubbard
Scientology is used to increase spiritual freedom, intelligence, ability and to produce immortality.
L. Ron Hubbard
God was feeling sardonic the day He created the Universe. So it's rather up to at least one man every few centuries to pop up and come just as close to making him swallow his laughter as possible.
L. Ron Hubbard
Self-confidence is nothing more than belief in one’s ability to decide and in one’s decisions.
L. Ron Hubbard
The Ultimate decision, the fastest decision there is, is ACTION!
L. Ron Hubbard
The second that you make a man truly free, he becomes truly good. And it is only that individual who has lost his belief in himself and his own pride of goodness and his own pride of being and his own honor who is dangerous.
L. Ron Hubbard
If at this moment you simply made up your minds that you were handsome, beautiful, strong, dangerous, powerful, that you knew everything there was to know, you were totally capable in any job that you undertook or any sport you undertook-if you really believed that, and you can believe it, some of your faces would change physically before my eyes.
L. Ron Hubbard
A civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where man is free to rise to greater heights, are the aims of Scientology.
L. Ron Hubbard
Single men and determined groups have been the only makers of space in which man could walk free.
L. Ron Hubbard
A political system seeking to function amongst ignorant, illiterate and barbaric people could have marvelous principles but could only succeed in being ignorant, illiterate and barbaric unless one addressed the people one by one and cured the ignorance, illiteracy and barbarism of each citizen.
L. Ron Hubbard
