Enthusiasm is essential to the successful attainment of any high endeavor.

Of gifts, there seems none more becoming to offer a friend than a beautiful book.

Enthusiasm imparts itself magnetically and fuses all into one happy and harmonious unity of feeling and sentiment.

Sympathy wanting, all is wanting; its personal magnetism is the conductor of the sacred spark that lights our atoms, puts us m human communion, and gives us to company, conversation, and ourselves.

Traveling is no fool's errand to him who carries his eyes and itinerary along with him.

Travel makes all men countrymen, makes people noblemen and kings, every man tasting of liberty and dominion.

The eyes have a property in things and territories not named in any title-deeds, and are the owners of our choicest possessions.
