Traveler/people

Famous quotes containing the words traveler and/or people:

“It is remarkable, but on the whole, perhaps, not to be lamented, that the world is so unkind to a new book. Any distinguished traveler who comes to our shores is likely to get more dinners and speeches of welcome than he can well dispose of, but the best books, if noticed at all, meet with coldness and suspicion, or, what is worse, gratuitous, off-hand criticism.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The people know that they need in their representative much more than talent, namely, the power to make his talent trusted.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
