Elbert Hubbard

If you work for a man, in heavens name work for him! If he pays you wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him speak well of him, think well of him, stand by him and stand by the institution he represents.

Elbert Hubbard

If you work for a man, in heaven's name work for him, speak well of him, and stand by the institution he represents. Remember, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.

If you do, the first high wind that comes along will blow you away, and probably you will never know why.

Look, when you go to some stadiums, it's so deafening that you can't hear. When you have 15,000-20,000 of the opponent's fans in there, it's not deafening. There is a difference. The fans that were there were great. But it wasn't like a big game when it's just your guys in there.
