Travellers, like poets, are mostly an angry race.

One can see them playing hearts in the lounge car and eating cheese sandwiches in the railroad stations as they traveled through Kansas and Nebraska-over the mountains and on to the Coast.

What affects men sharply about a foreign nation is not so much finding or not finding familiar things; it is rather not finding them in the familiar place.

How much a dunce that has been sent to roam Excels a dunce that has been kept at home!

To roam Giddily, and be everywhere but at home, Such freedom doth a banishment become.

Men run away to other countries because they are not good in their own, and run back to their own because they pass for nothing in the new places.

No man should travel until he has learned the language of the country he visits. Otherwise he voluntarily makes himself a great baby,-so helpless and so ridiculous.

The world is his who has money to go over it.

Travelling is a fool's paradise. We owe to our first journeys the discovery that place is nothing.

As a member of an escorted tour, you don't even have to know the Matterhorn isn't a tuba.
