The monthly was a Ben Franklinesque periodical larded with aphorisms about life, health and business, as well as essays by Hubbard and guest writers like Stephen Crane, along with ads for the Roycrofters.
But I began to wonder are there people out there like me who have tried to toss off aphorisms as such or are they usually just chips that accidentally shoot out from the lobal lathes of great thinkers and writers?
In his recollections of important events he invariably portrayed himself as a man of uncanny prescience and leadership skills not to mention the ready dispenser of brilliant aphorisms, the choicest of which still trip off the tongues of Turkish school children.
