Elbert Hubbard - Business and Personal Credos to Live By
Elbert Hubbard - Business and Personal Credos to Live By
Here is a quote by Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915) which applies to blogging:
"Every man who speaks out loud and clear is tinting the "Zeitgeist." Every man who expresses what he honestly thinks is true is changing the Spirit of the Times. Thinkers help other people to think, for they formulate what others are thinking. No person writes or thinks alone--thought is in the air, but its expression is necessary to create a tangible Spirit of the Times. - Pig-Pen Pete--The Bee"
One of the lesser known writers of the American past is Elbert Hubbard, whose books I had the pleasure to read via Professor Wilbur Gaffney at the University of Nebraska (a remarkable man in whose name writing awards are still being given and without whom e.g. the present University of Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman might not be where he is).
In any case, in a period of time where people are looking for good "VALUES" to live by, it is worth taking a look at Hubbard's "Credos".
See also Hubbard's Essay on John Jacob Astor at Gutenberg.org.
Many of Hubbard's "quotations" - taken from over seven million published words - are also full of timeless wisdom: see
