"Each traveler should know what he has..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“We eagerly get hold of a law that serves as a weapon to our passions.”

“To a valet no man is a hero.[Ger., Es gibt fur den Kammerdiener keiner Helden.]”

“Higher aims are in themselves more valuable, even if unfulfilled, than lower ones quite attained.”

“No doubt, to a man of sense, travel offers advantages. As many languages as he has, as many friends, as many arts and trades, so many times is he a man. A foreign country is a point of comparison, wherefrom to judge his own.”

“When we read we are able to travel to many places, meet many people and understand the world.”

“I was in Iraq, Afghanistan, Djibouti, Bahrain. The first year I went pretty much by myself. Then I went with General [Richard] Myers, head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The shows and audiences were amazing. You'll never get a better group of people.”

“The really royal calling of the philosopher (as expressed by Alcuin the Anglo-Saxon): To correct what is wrong, and strengthen the right, and raise what is holy.”

“The performance of duty, and not an indulgence in vapid ease and vapid pleasure, is all that makes life worth while.”

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately.”
