Elbert Hubbard on talking

Don’t take life too seriously; you’ll never get out of it alive.

Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes a day. Wisdom consists of not exceeding the limit.

The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can’t be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.

C. S. Lewis1898–1963The Abolition of Man

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Mark Twain1835–1910

If A is a success in life, than A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

Albert Einstein1879–1955
