More quotes by 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.

Elbert Hubbard
Your neighbor is the man who needs you.
Elbert Hubbard

Elbert Hubbard
If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost you can still call him vile names.
