��"Too often I would hear men boast of the miles covered
that day, rarely of what they had seen.
The trail is the thing, not the end of the trail.��

"��Travel too fast, and you miss all you are traveling for.
All men look, but so few can see. It'��s all there, hidden in
plain sight, just waiting for any passerby to take note of.

You're only quoting what has already been said in the T.O.A W.M

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.

Would be nice to hear something original not Quotations from long dead but admittedly wise men.
Anyone can utter someone else's thoughts.

Actually those paragraphs are made up from Louis's quotations and sayings in his Biography.
I just made them into little Poem/story like paras. Read about him
he is an inspiration and I am sad he's dead. I hope he doesn't mind
me compiling his thoughts in this manner, and I did give away lots of clues to help.
His Biography is called the Education of a wandering man.

Louis contacted me tonight via the Ouija Board: he said to stop messing with his words.
