Famous quotes containing the words voyaging and/or society:

    The other side of the globe is but the home of our correspondent. Our voyaging is only great-circle sailing.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I do then with my friends as I do with my books. I would have them where I can find them, but I seldom use them. We must have society on our own terms, and admit or exclude it on the slightest cause.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
