"the Notebook of Elbert Hubbard"

I got back from our vacation in the desert recently...I found a book at the general store there titled, "the Notebook of Elbert Hubbard."  It's a used book, from 1927, 3 hole punched and bound in canvas...it's really cool.  I had never heard of Elbert Hubbard before I found his notebook...have you heard of him?  He's a really interesting figure from our past, so I'll be periodically posting quotes from this book.  He has an interesting way of putting things, and strange kind of wisdom, so please enjoy:

"It is easy to get everything you want, provided you first learn to do without the things you can not get."
-Elbert Hubbard

See you at the dojo!
