When I was at home, I was in a better place; but travelers must be content.—Shakespeare.
As the Spanish proverb says, "He who would bring home the wealth of the Indies must carry the wealth of the Indies with him." So it is in traveling: a man must carry knowledge with him, if he would bring home knowledge.—Samuel Johnson.
TREASON
It was during the Parnell agitation in Ireland that an anti-Parnellite, criticising the ways of tenants in treating absentee landlords, exclaimed to Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia: "Why, it looks very much like treason."
Instantly came the answer in the Archbishop's best brogue: "Sure, treason is reason when there's an absent 't'."
Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason?
Why if it prosper, none dare call it treason.
