Quote

The great difference between voyages rests not with the ships, but with the people you meet on them.

Riches cannot be gathered without sin and evil means.

Coming from a middle class background, travel was always considered a luxury then, even if it meant going to a relative's place or a religious shrine.

It is not the ship so much as the skillful sailing that assures the prosperous voyage.

A great emigration necessarily implies unhappiness of some kind or other in the country that is deserted.

The glory that goes with wealth is fleeting and fragile; virtue is a possession glorious and eternal.

Travel, which was once either a necessity or an adventure, has become very largely a commodity, and from all sides we are persuaded into thinking that it is a social requirement, too.

Travel makes a wise man better, and a fool worse.

A journey by Sea and Land, Five Hundred Miles, is not undertaken without money.

Riches and the things that are necessary in life are not evil in themselves. And all of us face cares and troubles in this life. The sin comes in the time and energy we spend in pursuing these things, at the expense of neglecting Christ.
