06UndatedThe world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.Elbert Hubbard / quote ↗

18UndatedWhenever you go out-of-doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of the head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost; drink in the sunshine; greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and do not waste a minute thinking about your enemies. Try to fix firmly in your mind what you would like to do; and then, without veering off direction, you will move straight to the goal. Keep your mind on the great and splendid things you would like to do, and then, as the days go gliding away, you will find yourself unconsciously seizing upon the opportunities that are requiered for the fulfillment of your desire, just as the coral insect takes from the running tide the element it needs. Picture in your mind the able, earnest, useful person you desire to be, and the thought you hold is hourly transforming you into that particular individual... Thought is supreme. Preserve a right mental attitude - the attitude of courage, frankness, and good cheer. To think rightly is to create. All things come through desire and every sincere prayer is answered. We become like that on which our hearts are fixed. Carry your chin in and the crown of your head high. We are good in the chrysalis.Elbert Hubbard / quote ↗

21UndatedThe final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment.Elbert Hubbard / quote ↗
22UndatedHe who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.Elbert Hubbard / quote ↗
24UndatedThe object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without a teacher.Elbert Hubbard / quote ↗
