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.

Mark Twain

What you’ve done becomes the judge of what you’re going to do – especially in other people’s minds. When you’re traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don’t have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.

William Least Heat Moon

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.

Mark Twain

Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

Benjamin Disraeli

One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.

Henry Miller

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.

Martin Buber

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

Lao Tzu

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

Maya Angelou
