Famous quotes containing the words hubbard and/or experience:

    One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.
    —Elbert Hubbard (1856–1915)

    I learned from my two years’ experience that it would cost incredibly little trouble to obtain one’s necessary food, even in this latitude; that a man may use as simple a diet as the animals, and yet retain health and strength.... Yet men have come to such a pass that they frequently starve, not for want of necessaries, but for want of luxuries.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
