"A wise traveler never despises his own country" — William Hazlitt

The wise only possess ideas, the great part of mankind are possessed by them

Men are never very wise and select in the exercise of a new power

There are periods when to dare, is the highest wisdom

All noble enthusiasms pass through a feverish stage, and grow wiser and more serene

The chief object of education is not to learn things but to unlearn things

To be a teacher in the right sense is to be a learner. I am not a teacher, only a fellow student
