Travel

Most travel is best of all in the anticipation or the remembering; the reality has more to do with losing your luggage.

Travel Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Travel

1.
If you look like your passport picture you're too ill to travel.
Kommen, Will

2.
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.

3.
I swims in the Tagus all across at once, and I rides on an ass or a mule, and swears Portuguese, and have got a diarrhea and bites from the mosquitoes. But what of that? Comfort must not be expected by folks that go a pleasuring.
Byron, Lord

4.
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

5.
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

6.
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

7.
The fool wanders, a wise man travels.
Fuller, Thomas

8.
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

9.
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

10.
What childishness is it that while there's breath of life in our bodies, we are determined to rush to see the sun the other way around?
Bishop, Elisabeth

11.
The alternative to a vacation is to stay home and tip every third person you see.

12.
A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.
Steinbeck, John

13.
He travels best that knows when to return. Middleton For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

14.
Travel is ninety percent anticipation and ten percent recollection.
Streeter, Edward

15.
The average tourist wants to go to places where there are no tourists.
Ewing, Sam

16.
Inter-railers are the ambulatory equivalent of Macdonald's, walking testimony to the erosion of French culture.
Thompson, Alice

17.
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

18.
The true traveler is he who goes on foot, and even then, he sits down a lot of the time.
Colette

19.
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

20.
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

21.
The bigger the summer vacation the harder the fall.

22.
You perceive I generalize with intrepidity from single instances. It is the tourist's custom.
Twain, Mark

23.
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Huxley, Aldous

24.
A man who leaves home to mend himself and others is a philosopher; but he who goes from country to country, guided by the blind impulse of curiosity, is a vagabond.
Goldsmith, Oliver

25.
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

26.
Thanks to the interstate highway system, it is now possible to travel across the country from coast to coast without seeing anything.
Kuralt, Charles

27.
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

28.
Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives -- from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango -- with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to-date scripts for actors on the tourists stage.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

29.
In traveling, a man must carry knowledge with him, if he would bring home knowledge.
Johnson, Samuel

30.
Travel makes a wise man better, and a fool worse
Fuller, Thomas

31.
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

32.
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.

33.
Only the traveling is good which reveals to me the value of home and enables me to enjoy it better.
Thoreau, Henry David

34.
Travel is a fools paradise.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

35.
A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.
Kundera, Milan

36.
Visits always give pleasure; if not the arrival, the departure.
Proverb

37.
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

38.
Most travel is best of all in the anticipation or the remembering; the reality has more to do with losing your luggage.
Nadelson, Regina

39.
I would like to spend my whole life traveling, if I could borrow another life to spend at home.
Hazlitt, William

40.
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

41.
I am so convinced of the advantages of looking at mankind instead of reading about them, and of the bitter effects of staying at home with all the narrow prejudices of an Islander, that I think there should be a law amongst us to set our young men abroad for a term among the few allies our wars have left us.
Byron, Lord

42.
Every year it takes less time to fly across the Atlantic and more time to drive to the office.

43.
In the middle ages people were tourists because of their religion, whereas now they are tourists because tourism is their religion.
Runcie, Robert

44.
It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive.
Stevenson, Robert Louis

45.
When one realizes that his life is worthless he either commits suicide or travels.
Dahlberg, Edward

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

47.
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

48.
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

49.
Travel only with thy equals or thy betters; if there are none, travel alone.
The Dhammapada

50.
A man should ever be ready booted to take his journey.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
