"The happiness of this life depends less..." - Quote by Elbert Hubbard

“A college degree does not lessen the length of your ears; it only conceals it.”

“An enemy is anyone who tells the truth about you.”

“Where much is expected from an individual, he may rise to the level of events and make the dream come true.”

“Happy is it, indeed, for me that my heart is capable of feeling the same simple and innocent pleasure as the peasant whose table is covered with food of his own rearing, and who not only enjoys his meal, but remembers with delight the happy days and sunny mornings when he planted it, the soft evenings when he watered it, and the pleasure he experienced in watching its daily growth.”

“The happy phrasing of a compliment is one of the rarest of human gifts, and the happy delivery of it another.”

“The crowning fortune of a man is to be born to some pursuit which finds him employment and happiness, whether it be to make baskets, or broadswords, or canals, or statues, or songs.”

“I saw a muskrat come out of a hole in the ice ... While I am looking at him, I am thinking what he is thinking of me. He is a different sort of man, that's all.”

“There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.”

“By going one step further back in thought, discordant opinions are reconciled by being seen to be two extremes of one principle, and we can never go so far back as to preclude a still higher vision.”
