 Logan Pearsall Smith packed a lot of wisdom into a few words when he said:
"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."
Pearsall Smith was born to prominent Quaker parents, his father's family owned glass factories. He lived for a time in England but attended Haverford College (a Quaker school near Philadelphia) and Harvard College, then graduated in 1891 from Balliol College, Oxford. He remained in England, taking British citizenship in 1913.

Guy Finley: Sadly enough, due to the mass marketing of spiritual ideas and the glut of iconic imagery that goes with that, many people these days believe they are already self-aware and "living in the Light."

As a result of thirty-five years spent in teaching adults, I know men and women can banish worry, fear, and various kind of illness, and can transform their lives by changing their thoughts. I know! I know! ! I know! ! ! I have seen such incredible transformations performed hundreds of times. I have seen them so often that I no longer wonder at them.
