Ben Sira 34:9

9 A well-traveled person with wide experience knows many things and talks sense.

Ben Sira 34:9 In-Context

7 Dreams have misled many people; they put their faith in them, only to be disappointed.
8 The Law is complete without such falsehood. Wisdom, as spoken by the righteous, is also complete without it.
9 A well-traveled person with wide experience knows many things and talks sense.
10 You can't know much if you haven't experienced much, but travel can make you more clever.
11 In my own travels I have seen many things and learned more than I can put into words.
