Quote by Logan Pearsall Smith (1865-1946)

• People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.

• There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.

• Don't laugh at a youth for his affectations; he is only trying on one face after another to find his own.

• Thank heavens the sun has gone in, and I don't have to go out and enjoy it.

• Solvency is entirely a matter of temperament and not of income.

• Almost all reformers, however strict their social conscience, live in houses just as big as they can pay for.
