More quotes by L. Ron Hubbard
Probably the most neglected friend you have is you. And yet every man, before he can be a true friend to the world, must first become a friend to himself.
L. Ron Hubbard
Save the child and you save the nation.
L. Ron Hubbard
So we listen. We add up associations of people with people. When a push against Scientology starts somewhere, we go over the people involved and weed them out. Push vanishes.
L. Ron Hubbard
The clue to happiness is being interested in life. People's happiness is as great as they can create it.
L. Ron Hubbard
Man thrives, oddly enough, only in the presence of a challenging environment.
L. Ron Hubbard
The man who has his ideals, no matter how thoroughly he may be persuaded to desert them, survives well only so long as he is true to those ideals.
L. Ron Hubbard

L. Ron Hubbard
The one impulse in man which cannot be erased is his impulse toward freedom, his impulse toward sanity, toward higher levels of attainment in all of his endeavors.
L. Ron Hubbard
Let the child see Mama and Daddy both at least once a day. Never quarrel or argue in front of a baby or a child-it destroys security.
L. Ron Hubbard
So one predicts the future as much as one is cause. The future isn't a pattern laid out to abuse and bully you. The future is a beautiful playground that nobody happens to be combining. You talk about virgin territory - the most virgin territory there is, is the future. You can do anything you want with it. Nobody is doing anything with it.
L. Ron Hubbard
If things were a little better known and understood, we would all lead happier lives.
L. Ron Hubbard
Darwin found out that when you took horses up to the high country in the Middle East, they would then grow long hair after a season or two. But when you took them - these long-haired horses - back into the low, hot country, they wouldn't get rid of the long hair, just in case, for about four generations.
L. Ron Hubbard
Leukemia is evidently psychosomatic in origin and at least eight cases of leukemia had been treated successfully by Dianetics after medicine had traditionally given up. The source of leukemia has been reported to be an engram containing the phrase 'It turns my blood to water.'
L. Ron Hubbard
I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days.
L. Ron Hubbard
Living is having and following a purpose. That's all.
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
I'm drinking lots of rum and popping pinks and greys.
