�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.�
- Logan Pearsall Smith (1865 � 1946), American-born British epigrammatist, critic and writer: �Afterthoughts�, 1931.
�The little girl had the makings of a poet in her who, being told to be sure of her meaning before she spoke, said �How can I know what I think till I see what I say?�
- Graham Wallas (1858 � 1932), British political theorist and psychologist: �The Art of Thought�, 1926.
�Here lies one who meant well, tried a little, failed much: - surely that may be his epitaph, of which he need not be ashamed.�
- Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 � 1894), Scottish writer, poet and essayist: �Across the Plains�, 1892.
