Thought for the Day

Elbert Hubbard (1859-1915) was a successful businessman turned philosopher. He was the founder of the Roycroft arts and crafts movement in the late nineteenth century, and his views on art and other topics were published widely during his lifetime. Here's one of the aphorisms for which he is remembered:

"Every man is a damn fool for at least
five minutes every day; wisdom consists
in not exceeding the limit."
