Quote by Hilaire Belloc

We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.

We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.

Summary

This quote suggests that there is a difference between wandering and traveling. Wandering indicates aimlessly moving about, possibly seeking temporary distractions or ways to pass the time. On the other hand, travel implies a purposeful exploration that goes beyond mere distraction. Travel is seen as a journey that brings fulfillment, possibly through experiencing new cultures, broadening perspectives, and creating lasting memories. It highlights the idea that travel holds deeper meaning and can offer a sense of personal growth and satisfaction compared to the aimlessness of wandering.

Are we aware of our obligations to a mob? It is the mob that labor in your fields and serve in your houses -- that man your navy, and recruit your army -- that have enabled you to defy the world, and can also defy you when neglect and calamity have driven them to despair. You may call the people a mob; but do not forget that a mob too often speaks the sentiments of the people.

Some men who are not real men love other things about themselves, but the real man believes that his honor is dearer than his life; and a nation is merely all of us put together, and the nation's honor is dearer than the nation's comfort and the nation's peace and the nation's life itself.
