Husband, Women, Lying

The man who is anybody and who does anything is surely going to be criticized, vilified, and misunderstood. This is a part of the penalty for greatness, and every great man understands it; and understands, too, that it is no proof of greatness. The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure contumely without resentment.

Lying, Greatness, Men
Elbert Hubbard (2008). “A Message to Garcia: And Other Classic Success Writings”, p.55, Penguin

There is something that is much more scarce, something finer far, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability.

Education, Work, Lying
Elbert Hubbard (1922). “Selected Writings of Elbert Hubbard ...”

The great man is not so great as folks think, and the dull man is not quite so stupid as he seems. The difference in our estimates of men lies in the fact that one individual is able to get his goods into the show-window, and the other is not aware that he has any show-window or any goods.

Elbert Hubbard
Lying, Stupid, Men
Elbert Hubbard (2009). “Love, Life & Work: Being a Book of Opinions Reasonably Good-Natured Concerning How to Attain the Highest Happiness for One's Self with the Least Possible Harm to Others”, p.14, The Floating Press

The difference in men does not lie in the size of their hands, nor in the perfection of their bodies, but in this one sublime ability of concentration: to throw the weight in one blow, to live eternity in an hour.

Elbert Hubbard
Lying, Blow, Men

Every life is its own excuse for being, and to deny or refute the untrue things that are said of you is an error in judgment. All wrong recoils upon the doer, and the person who makes wrong statements about others is themselves to be pitied, not the person they vilify. It is better to be lied about than to lie. At the last no one can harm us but ourselves.

Elbert Hubbard
Lying, Errors, Optimism
Elbert Hubbard (1911). “A Thousand & One Epigrams: Selected from the Writings of Elbert Hubbard”
