This is still the strangest thing in all man's travelling, that he should carry about with him incongruous memories. - Robert Louis Stevenson

Let anyone speak long enough, he will get believers.

To hold the same views at forty as we held at twenty is to have been stupefied for a score of years, and take rank, not as a prophet, but as an unteachable brat, well birched and none the wiser. It is as if a ship captain should sail to India from the Port of London; and having brought a chart of the Thames on deck at his first setting out, should obstinately use no other for the whole voyage.

We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we find is an honest friend. He is a fortunate voyager who finds many.
