Summary

This quote highlights the transformative power of travel. It suggests that when a traveler is open-minded, adaptable, and receptive to new experiences, they have the ability to shape their own perception and experience of a country. Rather than relying on external factors, a perfect traveler creates their own narrative, seeking connections and understanding beyond the surface level. It emphasizes the importance of actively engaging with a new place, immersing oneself in its culture, and taking personal responsibility for the impact one has on the destination.

The size of your accomplishments, the quality of your achievement, will depend very largely on how big a man you see in yourself, what sort of image you get of your possible self, yourself at your best.

As for myself, may the sweet Muses, as Virgil says, bear me

As for myself, may the sweet Muses, as Virgil says, bear me away to their holy places where sacred streams do flow, beyond the reach of anxiety and care, and free from the obligation of performing each day some task that goes against the grain. May I no longer have anything to do with the mad racket and the hazards of the forum, or tremble as I try a fall with white-faced Fame. I do not want to be roused from sleep by the clatter of morning callers or by some breathless messenger from the palace; I do not care, in drawing my will, to give a money-pledge for its safe execution through anxiety as to what is to happen afterwards; I wish for no larger estate than I can leave to the heir of my own free choice. Some day or other the last hour will strike also for me, and my prayer is that my effigy may be set up beside my grave, not grim and scowling, but all smiles and garlands, and that no one shall seek to honour my memory either by a motion in the senate or by a petition to the Emperor.
