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
Men are only as great as they are kind.
Elbert Hubbard
Do not go out of your way to do good whenever it comes your way. Men who make a business of doing good to others are apt to hate others in the same occupation. Simply be filled with the thought of good, and it will radiate you do not have to bother about it, any more than you need trouble about your digestion.
Elbert Hubbard
Destruction, violence, ravages, murder, are perpetrated by statute law.
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
