Summary

This quote suggests that the act of traveling does not necessarily expand or enrich one's understanding or perspective. Instead, it often results in individuals merely engaging in long-winded discussions or debates about their travel experiences.

Galileos and Einsteins seldom appear more than once per century, which is just as well for the equanimity of mankind.
