Famous quotes containing the words widely, traveled and/or person:

    Everyone realizes that one can believe little of what people say about each other. But it is not so widely realized that even less can one trust what people say about themselves.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    ... ideals, standards, aspirations,—those are chameleon words, and take color from their speakers,—often false tints. A scholarly man of my acquaintance once told me that he traveled a thousand miles into the desert to get away from the word uplift, and it was the first word he heard after he reached his destination.
    Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)

    As if one could know the good a person is capable of, when one doesn’t know the bad he might do.
    Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
