The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it. – Elbert Hubbard
This will never be a civilized country until we expend more money for books than we do for chewing gum. – Elbert Hubbard
Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. – Elbert Hubbard
The mintage of wisdom is to know that rest is rust, and that real life is in love, laughter, and work. – Elbert Hubbard
I see nothing wrong with the human trait to desire. In fact, I consider it integral to our success mechanism. Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble. If you must have it in order to be happy, then you are denying the happiness of the here and now. – Peter McWilliams
