Art is not a thing; it is a way.

As a rule, the man who can do all things equally well is a very mediocre individual.

Business, to be successful, must be based on science, for demand and supply are matters of mathematics, not guesswork.

Elbert Hubbard

Dignity is a mask we wear to hide our ignorance.

Elbert Hubbard

Do not dump your woes upon people – keep the sad story of your life to yourself. Troubles grow by recounting them.

Elbert Hubbard

Dogma is a lie reiterated and authoritatively injected into the mind of one or more persons who believe that they believe what someone else believes.
