Elbert Hubbard quotes about
Logic: an instrument used for bolstering a prejudice.

Dreams can come true, but there is a secret. They're realized through the magic of persistence, determination, commitment, passion, practice, focus and hard work. They happen a step at a time, manifested over years, not weeks.
The teacher is the one who gets the most out of the lessons, and the true teacher is the learner.
Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer to your goal.

If you must growl, condemn, and eternally find fault - resign your position, and when you are outside, damn to your heart's content - but as long as you are part of the institution, do not condemn it.

The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.
Positive anything is better than negative nothing.

Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
A friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you just the same
A woman can defend her virtue from men much more easily than she can protect her reputation from women
