More quotes by Elbert Hubbard
There have always existed three ways of keeping the people loving and loyal. One is to leave them alone, to trust them and not to interfere.

Elbert Hubbard
The man who is so run down that he needs a vacation can never adjust or reform himself in two weeks. What he really needs is to re-transform his life.
Elbert Hubbard
Life is a paradox. Every truth has its counterpart which contradicts it and every philosopher supplies the logic his own undoing.
