“A wise man travels to discover himself.”

“5272. Travel makes a wise Man better, but a Fool worse.”

“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”

“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”

“A fool sees himself as another, but a wise man sees others as himself.”

“A wise man never loses anything, if he has himself.”

“Man is wise … when he recognises no greater enemy than himself.”

“That man is best who sees the truth himself. Good too is he who listens to wise counsel. But who is neither wise himself nor willing to ponder wisdom is not worth a straw.”

“A wise traveler never despises his own country.”

“A wise man distrusts his neighbor. A wiser man distrusts both his neighbor and himself. The wisest man of all distrusts his government.”
