Travel Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Travel

1.
Being on tour sends me crazy, I drink too much and out comes the John Mcenroe in me.
Hynde, Chrissie

2.
The personal appropriation of clich?s is a condition for the spread of cultural tourism.
Daney, Serge

3.
For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilization, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

4.
Without stirring abroad, one can know the whole world; Without looking out of the window one can see the way of heaven. The further one goes the less one knows.
Lao-Tzu

5.
My favorite thing is to go where I have never gone.
Arbus, Diane

6.
We travelers are in very hard circumstances. If we say nothing but what has been said before us, we are dull and have observed nothing. If we tell anything new, we are laughed at as fabulous and romantic.
Montagu, Lady Mary Wortley

7.
The traveler, however virginal and enthusiastic, does not enjoy an unbroken ecstasy. He has periods of gloom, periods when he asks himself the object of all these exertions, and puts the question whether or not he is really experiencing pleasure. At such times he suspects that he is not seeing the right things, that the characteristic, the right aspects of these strange scenes are escaping him. He looks forward dully to the days of his holiday yet to pass, and wonders how he will dispose of them. He is disgusted because his money is not more, his command of the language so slight, and his capacity for enjoyment so limited.
Bennett, Arnold

8.
I was disappointed in Niagara -- most people must be disappointed in Niagara. Every American bride is taken there, and the sight of the stupendous waterfall must be one of the earliest, if not the keenest, disappointments in American married life.
Wilde, Oscar

9.
If you look like your passport picture you're too ill to travel.
Kommen, Will

10.
The true traveler is he who goes on foot, and even then, he sits down a lot of the time.
Colette

11.
I am not much an advocate for traveling, and I observe that men run away to other countries because they are not good in their own, and run back to their own because they pass for nothing in the new places. For the most part, only the light characters travel. Who are you that have no task to keep you at home?
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

12.
The average tourist wants to go to places where there are no tourists.
Ewing, Sam

13.
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

14.
Travelers are like poets. They are mostly an angry race.
Burton, Sir Richard

15.
Man is flying too fast for a world that is round. Soon he will catch up with himself in a great rear end collision.
Thurber, James

16.
The alternative to a vacation is to stay home and tip every third person you see.

17.
Should we have stayed at home and thought of here? Where should we be today? Is it right to be watching strangers in a play in this strangest of theatres?
Bishop, Elisabeth

18.
It would be nice to travel if you knew where you were going and where you would live at the end or do we ever know, do we ever live where we live, we're always in other places, lost, like sheep.
Frame, Janet

19.
People commonly travel the world over to see rivers and mountains, new stars, garish birds, freak fish, grotesque breeds of human; they fall into an animal stupor that gapes at existence and they think they have seen something.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

20.
Certainly, 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

21.
Not so many years ago there was no simpler or more intelligible notion than that of going on a journey. Travel --movement through space --provided the universal metaphor for change. One of the subtle confusions --perhaps one of the secret terrors --of modern life is that we have lost this refuge. No longer do we move through space as we once did.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

22.
A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.
Steinbeck, John

23.
Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember and remember more than I have seen.
Disraeli, Benjamin

24.
For the perfect idler, for the passionate observer it becomes an immense source of enjoyment to establish his dwelling in the throng, in the ebb and flow, the bustle, the fleeting and the infinite. To be away from home and yet to feel at home anywhere; to see the world, to be at the very center of the world, and yet to be unseen of the world, such are some of the minor pleasures of those independent, intense and impartial spirits, who do not lend themselves easily to linguistic definitions. The observer is a prince enjoying his incognito wherever he goes.
Baudelaire, Charles

25.
No man should travel until he has learned the language of the country he visits. Otherwise he voluntarily makes himself a great baby-so helpless and so ridiculous.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

26.
Travel is the most private of pleasures. There is no greater bore than the travel bore. We do not in the least want to hear what he has seen in Hong-Kong.
Sackville-West, Vita

27.
He that travels in theory has no inconveniences; he has shade and sunshine at his disposal, and wherever he alights finds tables of plenty and looks of gaiety. These ideas are indulged till the day of departure arrives, the chaise is called, and the progress of happiness begins. A few miles teach him the fallacies of imagination. The road is dusty, the air is sultry, the horses are sluggish. He longs for the time of dinner that he may eat and rest. The inn is crowded, his orders are neglected, and nothing remains but that he devour in haste what the cook has spoiled, and drive on in quest of better entertainment. He finds at night a more commodious house, but the best is always worse than he expected.
Johnson, Samuel

28.
Travelling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.
Teran, Lisa St. Aubin De

29.
Traveling, you realize that differences are lost: each city takes to resembling all cities, places exchange their form, order, distances, a shapeless dust cloud invades the continents.
Calvino, Italo

30.
The travel writer seeks the world we have lost --the lost valleys of the imagination.
Cockburn, Alexander

31.
Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!
Dylan, Bob

32.
If we are always arriving and departing, it is also true that we are eternally anchored. One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.
Miller, Henry

33.
He who is only a traveler learns things at second-hand and by the halves, and is poor authority. We are most interested when science reports what those men already know practically or instinctively, for that alone is a true humanity, or account of human experience.
Thoreau, Henry David

34.
Before he sets out, the traveler must possess fixed interests and facilities to be served by travel.
George Santayana

35.
Travel is ninety percent anticipation and ten percent recollection.
Streeter, Edward

36.
Old men and far travelers may lie with authority.

37.
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.
George Moore

38.
Every year it takes less time to fly across the Atlantic and more time to drive to the office.

39.
Travel only with thy equals or thy betters; if there are none, travel alone.
The Dhammapada

40.
There is no looking at a building here after seeing Italy.
Burney, Fanny

41.
Traveling 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.
Myrdal, Jan

42.
Our instructed vagrancy, which has hardly time to linger by the hedgerows, but runs away early to the tropics, and is at home with palms and banyans --which is nourished on books of travel, and stretches the theatre of its imagination to the Zambesi.
Eliot, George

43.
Writing and travel broaden your ass if not your mind and I like to write standing up.
Hemingway, Ernest

44.
The modern American tourist now fills his experience with pseudo-events. He has come to expect both more strangeness and more familiarity than the world naturally offers. He has come to believe that he can have a lifetime of adventure in two weeks and all the thrills of risking his life without any real risk at all.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

45.
The time to enjoy a European tour is about three weeks after you unpack.
Ade, George

46.
The routines of tourism are even more monotonous than those of daily life.
Cooley, Mason

47.
As for pictures and museums, that don't trouble me. The worst of going abroad is that you've always got to look at things of that sort. To have to do it at home would be beyond a joke.
Oliphant, Margaret

48.
Travel makes a wise man better, and a fool worse
Fuller, Thomas

49.
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Huxley, Aldous

50.
They change their climate, not their soul, who rush across the sea.
Horace
