Elbert Hubbard

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

"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."

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

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

"He has achieved success who has worked well, laughed often, and loved much."

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

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

"Love, we say, is life; but love without hope and faith is agonizing death."

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

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

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

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"Life in abundance comes only through great love."

"The sculptor produces the beautiful statue by chipping away such parts of the marble block as are not needed - it is a process of elimination."
