Elbert Hubbard

An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.

So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private citizens will occasionally kill theirs.

The greatest mistake you can make is to be continually fearing you will make one

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same

Pray that success will not come any faster than you are able to endure it

The love we give away is the only love we keep

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man

To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing

Never explain - your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you

Never get married in college; it's hard to get a start if a prospective employer finds you've already made one mistake

Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit

The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods

God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars

The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.
