Travel

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



Best Quotes about Travel

1.
Of journeying the benefits are many: the freshness it bringeth to the heart, the seeing and hearing of marvelous things, the delight of beholding new cities, the meeting of unknown friends, and the learning of high manners.
Gulistan, Sadi

2.
Travel only with thy equals or thy betters; if there are none, travel alone.
The Dhammapada

3.
Does this boat go to Europe, France?
Loos, Anita

4.
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

5.
To be a tourist is to escape accountability. Errors and failings don't cling to you the way they do back home. You're able to drift across continents and languages, suspending the operation of sound thought. Tourism is the march of stupidity. You're expected to be stupid. The entire mechanism of the host country is geared to travelers acting stupidly. You walk around dazed, squinting into fold-out maps. You don't know how to talk to people, how to get anywhere, what the money means, what time it is, what to eat or how to eat it. Being stupid is the pattern, the level and the norm. You can exist on this level for weeks and months without reprimand or dire consequence. Together with thousands, you are granted immunities and broad freedoms. You are an army of fools, wearing bright polyesters, riding camels, taking pictures of each other, haggard, dysenteric, thirsty. There is nothing to think about but the next shapeless event.
Delillo, Don

6.
The idea that seeing life means going from place to place and doing a great variety of obvious things is an illusion natural to dull minds.
Cooley, Charles Horton

7.
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

8.
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

9.
Thanks to the interstate highway system, it is now possible to travel across the country from coast to coast without seeing anything.
Kuralt, Charles

10.
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

11.
The average tourist wants to go to places where there are no tourists.
Ewing, Sam

12.
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

13.
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

14.
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.

15.
The country of the tourist pamphlet always is another country, an embarrassing abstraction of the desirable that, thank God, does not exist on this planet, where there are always ants and bad smells and empty Coca-Cola bottles to keep the grubby finger-print of reality upon the beautiful.
Gordimer, Nadine

16.
Comes over one an absolute necessity to move. And what is more, to move in some particular direction. A double necessity then: to get on the move, and to know whither.
Lawrence, D. H.

17.
Travel makes a wise man better, and a fool worse
Fuller, Thomas

18.
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

19.
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

20.
A solitary traveler can sleep from state to state, from day to night, from day to day, in the long womb of its controlled interior. It is the cradle that never stops rocking after the lullaby is over. It is the biggest sleeping tablet in the world, and no one need ever swallow the pill, for it swallows them.
Teran, Lisa St. Aubin De

21.
The fool wanders, a wise man travels.
Fuller, Thomas

22.
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.
George Moore

23.
Travel and society polish one, but a rolling stone gathers no moss, and a little moss is a good thing on a man.
Burroughs, John

24.
The important thing about travel in foreign lands is that it breaks the speech habits and makes you blab less, and breaks the habitual space-feeling because of different village plans and different landscapes. It is less important that there are different mores, for you counteract these with your own reaction-formations.
Goodman, Paul

25.
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

26.
My favorite thing is to go where I have never gone.
Arbus, Diane

27.
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

28.
In the middle ages people were tourists because of their religion, whereas now they are tourists because tourism is their religion.
Runcie, Robert

29.
The alternative to a vacation is to stay home and tip every third person you see.

30.
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

31.
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

32.
A man should ever be ready booted to take his journey.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

33.
Traveling makes a man wiser, but less happy.
Jefferson, Thomas

34.
When I was very young and the urge to be someplace was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job. Nothing has worked. In other words, I don't improve, in further words, once a bum always a bum. I fear the disease is incurable.
Steinbeck, John

35.
Traveling is like gambling: it is always connected with winning and losing, and generally where it is least expected we receive, more or less than what we hoped for.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

36.
When one realizes that his life is worthless he either commits suicide or travels.
Dahlberg, Edward

37.
An involuntary return to the point of departure is, without doubt, the most disturbing of all journeys.
Sinclair, Iain

38.
Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.
Goldsmith, Oliver

39.
Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

40.
The travel writer seeks the world we have lost --the lost valleys of the imagination.
Cockburn, Alexander

41.
Your true traveler finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty -- his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.
Huxley, Aldous

42.
A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.
Steinbeck, John

43.
Inter-railers are the ambulatory equivalent of Macdonald's, walking testimony to the erosion of French culture.
Thompson, Alice

44.
Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal.
Debord, Guy

45.
Behold then Septimus Dodge returning to Dodge-town victorious. Not crowned with laurel, it is true, but wreathed in lists of things he has seen and sucked dry. Seen and sucked dry, you know: Venus de Milo, the Rhine or the Coliseum: swallowed like so many clams, and left the shells.
Lawrence, D. H.

46.
The map is not the territory.
Korzybski, Alfred

47.
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

48.
Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will --whatever we may think.
Durrell, Lawrence

49.
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

50.
Every year it takes less time to fly across the Atlantic and more time to drive to the office.
