Elbert Hubbard quotes about
The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
Fences are made for those who cannot fly.
The man who is anybody and who does anything is surely going to be criticized, vilified, and misunderstood. This is a part of the penalty for greatness, and every great man understands it; and understands, too, that it is no proof of greatness. The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure contumely without resentment.
A man is not paid for having a head and hands, but for using them.
Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.
A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.
We awaken in others the same attitude of mind we hold toward them.
Victory; a matter of staying power.
Freedom cannot be bestowed - it must be achieved.
Organized religion, being founded on superstition, is, perforce, not scientific. And all that which is not scientific - that is, truthful - must be bolstered up by force, fear and falsehood. Thus we always find slavery and organized religion going hand in hand.
He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.
The teacher is one who makes two ideas grow where only one grew before.
Responsibility is the price of freedom.
True life lies in laughter, love and work.
