Elbert Hubbard Quotes About Lying
-
The man who is anybody and who does anything is surely going to be criticized, vilified, and misunderstood.

At the last no one can harm us but ourselves.

Who are the happiest people on earth? A craftsman or artist whistling over a job well done. A little child building sand castles. A mother, after a busy day, bathing her baby. A doctor who has finished a difficult and dangerous operation, and saved a human life. Happiness lies in a constructive job well done. Get your happiness out of your work or you will never know what happiness is.

There is something that is much more scarce, something finer far, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability.
