Elbert Hubbard
If you have no enemies you are apt to be in the same predicament in regard to friends.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
Man is not what he thinks he is, but what he thinks, he is.
Elbert Hubbard
Life consists in molting our illusions. We form creeds today only to throw them away tomorrow. The eagle molts a feather because he is growing a better one.
Elbert Hubbard
