"There was one who thought himself above..." - Quote by Elbert Hubbard

“Every man should have a college education in order to show him how little the thing is really worth.”

“Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.”

“An ounce of performance is worth more than a pound of preachment.”

“I will chide no breather in the world but myself, against whom I know most faults.”

“Well I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know.”

“I'm suspicious of too much certainty in the pursuit of understanding just because I think people are limited in their understanding.”

“In essence, you are neither inferior nor superior to anyone. True self-esteem and true humility arise out of that realization. In the eyes of the ego, self-esteem and humility are contradictory. In truth, they are one and the same.”

“I have the feeling that he would rather see a good cause fail than succeed if he were not the head of it.”

“The egoic madness, or dysfunction, becomes enormously amplified by the science and technology we all have developed.”
