Elbert Hubbard Quote

"The man who craves disciples and wants followers
is always more or less of a charlatan.
The man of genuine worth and insight wants to be himself;
and he wants others to be themselves, also."

Great. A true leader never makes followers. He makes leader and become leader to the leaders. It is the follower who makes follower and become a follower to the follower. Venu Bhagavan, An Indian self help author  -- Anonymous, Hyderabad      3
Funny a Hubbard that contradicts a more known Hubbard (these days), sadly. L Ron vs. Elber(t).  -- Gölök Zoltán Leenderdt Franco Buday, Vancouver, GVRD(Paine Cnty), Coastal Lwr Mainland BC(State of Neo Sumer), U.S. of Eh!      2

I agree with one significant, divine exception.  -- J. B. Wulff, Bristol, CT      3

Any human or divine one that "craves" disciples and wants followers meets this criteria, too, in my opinion. There is no need for the divine to crave anything -- otherwise no divinity. Craving and desire is absolutely NOT a character of divinity -- wholeness is 'holy.'  -- E Archer, NYC      6
The "A" from Reston; I agree with your general premise — BUT! — "better", is WAY to subjective. The lover of truth, individual sovereignty, inalienable rights, liberty, justice, responsibility of self and the laws of nature and of nature's God has a very — VERY! — different perception of "better" than does a socialist, otherwise collectivist or patron of the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land.  -- Mike, Norwalk      1
