"Men who sit back and pride themselves..." - Quote by Elbert Hubbard

“Grammar is the grave of letters.”

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

“The art of winning in business is in working hard - not taking things too seriously.”

“What is the foundation of that interest all men feel in Greek history, letters, art, and poetry, in all its periods, from the Heroic or Homeric age down to the domestic life of the Athenians and Spartans, four or five centuries later? What but this, that every man passes personally through a Grecian period.”

“If the people in Europe are SOOOOOO smart, how come so many of them can't seem to locate the deodorant, huh?”

“Men are a thousand times more intent on becoming rich than on acquiring culture, though it is quite certain that what a man IS contributes more to his happiness than what he HAS.”

“Pride counterbalances all our miseries, for it either hides them, or, if it discloses them, boasts of that disclosure. Pride has such a thorough possession of us, even in the midst of our miseries and faults, that we are prepared to sacrifice life with joy, if it may but be talked of.”

“Is not wounded vanity the mother of all tragedies?”

“If a man were so placed or could so place himself as to be absolutely above all dependence on his fellow-beings he would become so proud and arrogant as to be a veritable burden and nuisance to the world.”
