More From Charles Caleb Colton
- "Those who visit foreign nations, but associate only with their own country-men, change their climate, but not their customs. They see new meridians, but the same men; and with heads as empty as their pockets, return home with traveled bodies, but untravelled minds."
- "Happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and meanderings, but leads none of us by the same route."
- "In religion as in politics it so happens that we have less charity for those who believe half our creed, than for those who deny the whole of it."
