"Men are only as great as they..." - Quote by Elbert Hubbard

“The secret of salvation is this: keep sweet, be useful, and keep busy.”

“What people need and what they want may be very different.”

“Our admiration is so given to dead martyrs that we have little time for living heroes.”

“Whoever is related to me in the height of his aspirations will experience veritable ecstasies of learning; for I come from heights that no bird ever reached in its flight, I know abysses into which no foot ever strayed.”

“There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player, and I don't believe there is only one greatest player either.”

“One must shed the bad taste of wanting to agree with many. "Good" is no longer good when one's neighbor mouths it. And how should there be a "common good"! The term contradicts itself: whatever can be common always has little value. In the end it must be as it is and always has been: great things remain for the great, abysses for the profound, nuances and shudders for the refined, and, in brief, all that is rare for the rare.”

“To have beautiful lips, say beautiful things. To have beautiful eyes, look at people and see the good in them.”

“Remind yourself that the greatest technique for bringing peace into your life is to always choose being kind when you have a choice between being right or being kind.”

“Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o' the milk of human kindness.”
