"Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt..." — 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.
