Alfred Tennyson1 quote
Much have I seen and known; cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments,
Myself not least, but honour'd of them all;
And drunk delight of battle with my peers,
Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
I am a part of all that I have met. — Alfred Tennyson · 1842Ernesto Guevara de la Serna1 quote

Imagination labors best in distant fields. — Mark Twain · 1869Thomas Hood1 quote
Some minds improve by travel, others, rather
Resemble copper wire, or brass,
Which gets the narrower by going farther! — Thomas Hood · 1845
