Elbert Hubbard

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

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