Many of you probably haven't heard of Kin Hubbard. I hadn't, either, until a few hours ago. He was a cartoonist and journalist, known for his political cartoons, views, and humor. Even though he was born (GASP!) in the 19th century--1868, to be exact, which I really think is quite impressive--and his works were completed many decades ago, his humor and sense of things still holds true. Here are a few quotes of his that might make you laugh, or smile, or perhaps think of something in a different way. And some of them might make you think "Have I ever done that? Oh, why yes I have, how embarrassing... but yes, I'll probably do it again!" Enjoy!
Being an optimist after you've got everything you want doesn't count.
Boys will be boys, and so will a lot of middle-aged men.
Live so that you can at least get the benefit of the doubt.
No one can feel as helpless as the owner of a sick goldfish.
The fellow that agrees with everything you say is either a fool or he is getting ready to skin you.
There's no secret about success. Did you ever know a successful man who didn't tell you about it?
Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while.
A cartoon of his...
