“Every man is a damn fool for at least five minutes every day; wisdom consists in not exceeding the limit.”
I had never heard of Hubbard until quite recently, but he seems to have been a fascinating chap, quite the Renaissance Man in the America of the late 1800s: he made a successful career in sales & marketing for a soap company in his early life, but then reacted against the industrialisation and consumerism of the modern world to become a maverick journalist, philosopher, anarcho-socialist agitator, and pioneer of the Arts & Crafts Movement. He and his second wife perished in the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915.
