"The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves." — William Hazlitt

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

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.
