I Am The Most Travelled Of All My Contemporaries; I Have Extended My Field Of Enquiry Wider Than Anybody Else, I Have Seen More Countries And Climes, And Have Heard More Speeches Of Learned Men.

The Animal Needing Something Knows How Much It Needs, The Man Does Not.

If Your Desires Are Not Great, A Little Will Seem Much To You; For Small Appetite Makes Poverty Equivalent To Wealth.
