"The more one knows, the more one..." - Quote by Elbert Hubbard

“Those who create beauty are also they who possess it.”

“What others say of me matters little; what I myself say and do matters much.”

“To know the great men dead is compensation for having to live with the mediocre.”

“Some books seem to have been written, not to teach us anything, but to let us know that the author has known something.”

“But facts are facts, and if we only get enough of them theyare sure to combine.”

“Knowledge is power." Rather, knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge - broad, deep knowledge - is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low. To know the thoughts and deeds that have marked man's progress is to feel the great heart-throbs of humanity through the centuries; and if one does not feel in these pulsations a heavenward striving, one must indeed be deaf to the harmonies of life.”

“Business isn't that complicated. I wouldn't want to put it on my business card.”

“You want to be a writer, don't know how or when? Find a quiet place, use a humble pen.”

“I will try not to panic, to keep my standard of living modest and to work steadily, even shyly, in the spirit of those medieval carvers who so fondly sculpted the undersides of choir seats.”
