Travel Quotes
"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."
Helen Keller
"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 harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain
"Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey."
Fitzhugh Mullan
"Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by."
Robert Frost
" If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home"
James Michener
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."
St Augustine
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on those accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating on one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
Mark Twain
"If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got".
