"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. "

"Experience, travel - these are as education in themselves. "

"A person needs at intervals to separate from family and companions and go to new places. One must go without familiars in order to be open to influences, to change ."

" As  the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own."
