Elbert Hubbard

"How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience would have achieved success."

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

"A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success."

"It may happen sometimes that a long debate becomes the cause of a longer friendship. Commonly, those who dispute with one another at last agree."

"There is no failure except in no longer trying."

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

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

"The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it: so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it."

"A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success."

"A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you."

"Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive."

"The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live."

"True life lies in laughter, love and work."

"Life in abundance comes only through great love."

"A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success."

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

"This will never be a civilized country until we expend more money for books than we do for chewing gum."

"A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you."

"Friendship, like credit, is highest when it is not used."

"The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it."
