Quote #58

Kin Hubbard is dead. To us folks that attempt to write a little humor his death is just like Edison's would be to the world of invention. No man in our generation was within a mile of him, and I am so glad that I didn't wait for him to go to send flowers. I have said it from the stage and in print for twenty years. Just think- only two lines a day, yet he expressed more original philosophy in 'em than all the rest of the paper combined. What a kick Twain and all that gang will get out of Kin.

More from Kin Hubbard

  2. Why doesn't the fellow who says 'I'm no speechmaker' let it go at that instead of giving a demonstration?
  3. When a fellow says, 'It ain't the money but the principle of the thing,' it's the money.
  4. We become actors without realizing it, and actors without wanting to.
  5. Universal peace sounds ridiculous to the head of an average family.
  6. There's no secret about success. Did you ever know a successful man who didn't tell you about it?
  7. There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inhere…
  8. The world gets better every day- then worse again in the evening.
