- Fools rush in, where wise men fear to tread.
The "wise men" of today are becoming effeminate under the pretense of becoming more thoughtful and understanding. In doing so they receive no little adoration from women, whom they flatter.
They regard indecision as strength. But I say to you "Fools do nothing and with great effort, while the wise achieve great things with ease."
- Travel broadens the mind.
More often than not the mind becomes narrowed. For travel is a running from oneself, a running from boredom, and from reason.
