More quotes by L. Ron Hubbard
In fact, you don’t have a soul, you are your own soul. In other words, you are not this book, your social security card, your body or your mind. You are you.
L. Ron Hubbard
The only way you can control people is to lie to them. You can write that down in your book in great big letters. The only way you can control anybody is to lie to them.
L. Ron Hubbard
A culture is as rich and capable of surviving as it has imaginative artists.
L. Ron Hubbard
You would be amazed how much action anyone is capable of.
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
You'll find in Africans a fantastic amount of heavy space opera and so on, going on ... which makes the colored African very, very interesting to process because he doesn't know why he goes through all these dances ... and why he feels so barbarous.
L. Ron Hubbard
The mind when it has an old experience will add that data into its current experience, and it keeps coming up with wrong answers.
L. Ron Hubbard
When you move off a point of power, pay all your obligations on the nail, empower all your friends completely and move off with your pockets full of artillery, potential blackmail on every erstwhile rival, unlimited funds in your private account and the addresses of experienced assassins and go live in Bulgravia and bribe the police.
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
On the day when we can fully trust each other, there will be peace on Earth.
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
I have seen life from the top down and the bottom up. I know how it looks both ways. And I know there is wisdom and that there is hope.
L. Ron Hubbard
A society in which women are taught anything but the management of a family, the care of men and the creation of the future generation is a society which is on the way out.
L. Ron Hubbard
One of the reasons they [the Japanese] have bad eyesight is probably these microscopic characters [furigana] which have many lines and strokes to them.& We wonder why they went mad and bombed Pearl Harbor when they knew they couldn't win. That [the Japanese language] would be a reason.
L. Ron Hubbard
Nothing in Scientology is true for you unless you have observed it and it is true according to your observation
L. Ron Hubbard
Now it's of peculiar interest to an Arab country that there is a company and a certain set of bankers who also finance the World Federation of Mental Health. ...and we see that although the KGB and so forth seems to be associated with the World Federation of Mental Health, their other organization in action seems to go back to Jewish Bankers.
L. Ron Hubbard
True greatness merely refuses to change in the face of bad actions against one—and a truly great person loves his fellows because he understands them.
L. Ron Hubbard
There is no national problem in the world today which cannot be resolved by reason alone.
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
All great cathedrals began their building by the placement of a single stone. The building unit of a great society is the individual.
L. Ron Hubbard
