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.

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

Even in the common affairs of life, in love, friendship, and marriage, how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!

There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our firends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please, that is, as they please or displease us.
