The tourist who moves about to see and hear and open himself to all the influences of the places which condense centuries of human greatness is only a man in search of excellence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've taught the better class of tourist both to see and not to see; to lift their eyes above and beyond the inessentials, and thrill to our western Nature in her majesty.
The good is, like nature, an immense landscape in which man advances through centuries of exploration.
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.
A great man does not seek applause or place; he seeks for truth; he seeks the road to happiness, and what he ascertains, he gives to others.
It is those who concentrates on but one thing at a time who advance in this world. The great man or woman is the one who never steps outside his or her specialty or foolishly dissipates his or her individuality.
No man is truly great who is great only in his lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history.
The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes 'sight-seeing.'
A great man is different from an eminent one in that he is ready to be the servant of the society.
There are two worlds: the world of the tourist and the world of everyone else. Often they're side by side. But the tourist doesn't actually see how people live.
The tourist transports his own values and demands to his destinations and implants them like an infectious disease, decimating whatever values existed before.
