Elbert Hubbard quotes

I have no idea who Elbert Hubbard was, but I have recently stumbled onto some of his quotes (more here) that have certainly clicked with me...

- "Editor: a person employed by a newspaper, whose business it is to separate the wheat from the chaff, and to see that the chaff is printed."

- "Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped."

- "Life is just one damned thing after another."

- "Many a man's reputation would not know his character if they met on the street."

- "Never explain--your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe you anyway."

- "God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas but for scars."

- "He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words."

- "The line between failure and success is so fine. . . that we are often on the line and do not know it."

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