Elbert Hubbard was an American philosopher and publisher in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The ideas in his writings varied, leaning by turns more conservative or more radical, but he always retained a strong sense of morality and a fascination with how humans treat one another. Here, he reminds us that the energy we give to others and the ways in which we treat them similarly affect the energy and treatment we receive from them, so it’s always wise to think twice before acting rashly or judging prematurely.
