All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil. - Robert Louis Stevenson

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.

The devil, depend upon it, can sometimes do a very gentlemanly thing.

To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.
