“Travaile, in the younger Sort is a Part of Education; in the Elder, a Part of Experience....When a Travailer returneth home, let him not leave the countries, where he hath travailed, altogether behind him....Let it appeare that he doth not change his country manners for those of Forraigne Parts; But onely pricke in some Flowers of that he hath Learned abroad, into the Customs of his own Country.”—Bacon’s Essays
