"To think ill of mankind and not wish ill to them, is perhaps the highest wisdom and virtue." — William Hazlitt

An honest man speaks the truth, though it may give offence; a vain man, in order that it may.

You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world.

It is not fit that every man should travel; it makes a wise man better, and a fool worse.

A wise traveler never despises his own country.
