It is the possession of a great heart or a great head, and not the mere fame of it, which is worth having, and conducive to happiness. Not fame, but that which deserves to be famous, is what a man should hold in esteem.
- Arthur Schopenhauer
Journeys are the midwives of thought. Few places are more conducive to internal conversations than a moving plane, ship or train.
- Alain de Botton
Many actions calculated to procure fame are not conducive to ultimate happiness.
