For a thinking man is where Wisdom is at home.

The soul is no traveller; the wise man stays at home, and when his necessities, his duties, on any occasion call him from his house, or into foreign lands, he is at home still, and shall make men sensible by the expression of his countenance, that he goes the missionary of wisdom and virtue, and visits cities and men like a sovereign, and not like an interloper or a valet.

The wise man belongs to all countries, for the home of a great soul is the whole world.

The wise man is joyful, happy and calm, unshaken, he lives on a plane with the gods.

To the wise man every land is eligible as a place of residence; for the whole world is the country of the worthy soul.

To a wise and good man the whole earth is his fatherland.

To a wise man, the whole earth is open; for the native land of a good soul is the whole earth.

A wise man is the one who influences the world with the tao that he has mastered.

A Wise man knows that much of what he says and does is commonplace and trivial. His thoughts are not all solemn and sacred in his own eyes. He is able to laugh at himself and is not offended when others make him a subject whereon to exercise their wit.

The wise man is one who, knows, what he does not know.

To a wise man, the whole earth is open, because the country of a virtuous soul is the entire universe.

The wise man will be as happy as circumstances permit, and if he finds the contemplation of the universe painful beyond a point, he will contemplate something else instead.

A wise man travels to discover himself.

Only sound common sense, respectable fellow that he is, in the homely realm of his own four walls, has very wonderful adventures directly he ventures out into the wide world of research.
