Travelling expands the mind rarely.

Summary

This quote suggests that traveling does not always lead to a significant expansion of the mind. While many believe that traveling helps broaden perspectives and knowledge, the quote underscores the belief that this is a relatively infrequent outcome. It implies that simply visiting new places and experiencing different cultures does not automatically result in personal growth or increased understanding. It suggests that true mental expansion requires a more active engagement and open mindset during the travel experience.

A professional soldier understands that war means killing pe

A professional soldier understands that war means killing people, war means maiming people, war means families left without fathers and mothers. All you have to do is hold your first dying soldier in your arms, and have that terribly futile feeling that his life is flowing out and you can't do anything about it.
