"Prison is a Socialist's Paradise, where equality prevails, everything is supplied, and competition is eliminated."
"God will not look you over for medals, diplomas, or degrees – but for scars."
"Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out of it alive, anyway."
"He picked up the lemons that Fate had sent him and started a lemonade-stand."
"Jesus was an Anarchist."
"Everyone is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day. Wisdom consists in not exceeding that limit."
"I am an Anarchist. No man who believes in force and violence is an Anarchist. The true Anarchist decries all influences save those
of love and reason. Ideas are his only arms. Being an Anarchist I am also a Socialist. Socialism is the antithesis of Anarchy.
One is the North Pole of Truth, the other the South." - in 1901
"One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man."
"To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing."
— Elbert Hubbard

"A Message To Garcia" [1899]
Originally published as an untitled filler article in the March 1899 issue of Hubbard's The Philistine Magazine, but quickly
reprinted as a pamphlet and a book; the inspirational piece was wildly popular, and has sold over 40 million copies worldwide.
Two movie adaptations were produced, an Edison silent feature in 1916 and a Fox sound feature in 1936 {see below}.
The story begins when President McKinley needs to contact Cuban rebels during the war with Spain; U.S. Army Capt. Andrew Rowan
[1857-1943] accepts the task to deliver the message to Gen. Calixto Garcia, even though nobody knew where he was.

Somehow when I first coded "The Olympians" onto the Elbert Hubbard page and later copied it to the Fred Harvey page, the list of people was amazingly incorrect - I can not now find where that info came from, but the versions of "The Olympians" on Amazon & Internet Archive show 13 chapters only, from Aristotle to Edgar Allen Poe. The incorrect 33-chapter list showed "oil & food tycoon E.T. Bedford, botanist Luther Burbank, railroad tycoon Benjamin Franklin Bush, arms maker Samuel Pomeroy Colt, railroad executive George H. Daniels, John Davey, utilities tycoon Henry L. Doherty, automaker Henry Ford, educator Thomas J. Foster, steel tycoon Elbert H. Gary, restaurant tycoon Fred Harvey, railroad tycoon Charles M.
