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.
It is not fit that every man should travel; it makes a wise man better, and a fool worse.
We can be said only to fulfil our destiny in the place that gave us birth. I should on this account like well enough to spend the whole of my life in travelling abroad, if I could anywhere borrow another life to spend afterwards at home!
