To Travel is to Live.

Travel and change of place impart new vigour to the mind.

And if travel is like love, it is, in the end, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.

Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.

The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.

We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm, and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.

And then there is the most dangerous risk of all — the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.

Our happiest moments as tourists always seem to come when we stumble upon one thing while in pursuit of something else.

Every man can transform the world from one of monotony and drabness to one of excitement and adventure.

Life is short and the world is wide.

We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls.

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.

I am not the same, having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.

Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.

See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.

A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.

I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.

Nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
