"Joseph Hilaire Pierre René Belloc" was an wikt:Anglo-French/Anglo-French writer and historian. He was one of the most prolific writers in England during the early twentieth century. He was known as a writer, orator, poet, sailor, satirist, man of letters, soldier and political activist. He is most notable for his Catholic Church/Catholic faith, which had a strong impact on his works, and his writing collaboration with G. K. Chesterton. He was President of the Oxford Union and later Member of Parliament/MP for Salford from 1906 to 1910. He was a noted disputant, with a number of long-running feuds, but also widely regarded as a humane and sympathetic man.
Belloc became a naturalised British subject in 1902, but kept his French citizenship (multiple citizenship/double citizenship)

I have wandered all my life, and I have also traveled; the difference between the two being this, that we wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.
I'm tired of love; I'm still more tired of rhyme; but money gives me pleasure all the time.
