"So we offer The Selected Writings of elbert Hubbard ---- the choice things from his pen, that have been tested by time and found worthy of perpetuation ---- the nuggets quarried from the rich mine of his experience. These Essays, these Travels, these Biographies, these Stories are 'the message' that carries Elbert hubbard to posterity. They are Elbert Hubbard at his best ---- his satire and his sublimity, the weapons he used to make men think. He expressed his purpose: 'I do not expect you to agree with me, but if I make you think I have done you a service.' I am confident the broad-minded thinker will find himself agreeing more often than disagreeing. These Selected Writings cover the whole range of his versatility. they are life set to paper, the fire that flies when flint strikes flint. Life reflected from contacts with men and women of vey stratum of our social structure without regard to 'color, race or previous condition of servitude.'" ---- from the Foreword by Elbert Hubbard II.
