It’s a strange thing about determined seekers-after-wisdom that, no matter where they happen to be, they’ll always seek that wisdom which is a long way off. Wisdom is one of the few things that looks bigger the further away it is.*

Genius, Wit and Spirit
The genius, wit, and the spirit of a nation are discovered by their proverbs.
Francis Bacon
