A man knows his companion in a long journey and a little inn.

We go on a journey to be free of all impediments; to leave ourselves behind much more than to get rid of others

One of the pleasantest things in the world is going on a journey; but I like to go by myself. I can enjoy society in a room; but out of doors, nature is company enough for me. I am then never less alone than when alone.

The soul of a journey is liberty, perfect liberty, to think, feel, do just as one pleases

Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are, and what they might have been.

The truly proud man knows neither superiors nor inferiors. The first he does not admit of; the last he does not concern himself about.
