Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.
--Mark Twain--

There is no moment of delight in any pilgrimage like the beginning of it.
--Charles Dudley Warner--

Once more on my adventure brave and new.
--Robert Browning, Rabbi Ben Esra--

Nothing happens unless first a dream.
--Carl Sandberg--

One of the gladdest moments of human life, methinks, is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands. Shaking off with one mighty effort the fetters of habit, the leaden weight of routine, the cloak of many cares and the slavery of home, man feel’s once more happy.
--Sir Richard Burton--

A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
--Lao Tzu--

Why do you stay here and live this mean toiling life when a glorious existence is possible for you? These same stars twinkle over other fields than these.
--Henry David Thoreau--

May the road rise with you and the wind be ever at you back.
--Irish Toast--

The months and days are travelers of eternity. The years that come and go are also voyagers. I too for years past have been stirred by the sight of a solitary cloud drifting with the wind to ceaseless thoughts of roaming.
--Matsu Basho, The Narrow Road to Oku--

Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson--

Let your memory be your travel bag.
--Alexander Solzhenitsyn--

When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.
--Clifton Fadiman--

Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes not from travel's immediate rewards, the inevitable myriad new sights, smells and sounds, but with experiencing firsthand how others do differently what we believed to be the right and only way.
--Ralph Crawshaw--

Go lightly, simply. Too much seriousness clouds the soul. Just go, and follow the flowing moment. Try not to cling to any experience. The depths of wonder open of themselves.
--Frederick Lehmann--

I do believe that the outward and the inward life correspond…. To set about living a true life is to go on a journey to a distant country, gradually to find ourselves surrounded by new scenes and men; and as long as the old are around me, I know that I am not in any true sense living a new or a better life.
--Henry David Thoreau--

Travelling is not just seeing the new; it is also leaving behind. Not just opening doors; also closing them behind you, never to return. But the place you have left forever is always there for you to see whenever you shut your eyes.
--Jan Myrdal--

Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.
--Miriam Beard--

The voyage of discovery lies not in discovering new lands but in seeing with new eyes.
--Marcel Proust--
