Travel

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
Travel Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Travel

1.
Old men and far travelers may lie with authority.

2.
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

3.
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

4.
Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!
Dylan, Bob

5.
The time to enjoy a European tour is about three weeks after you unpack.
Ade, George

6.
The average tourist wants to go to places where there are no tourists.
Ewing, Sam

7.
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

8.
Before he sets out, the traveler must possess fixed interests and facilities to be served by travel.
George Santayana

9.
The true traveler is he who goes on foot, and even then, he sits down a lot of the time.
Colette

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

12.
A wise traveler never depreciates their own country.
Goldoni, Carlo

13.
I would like to spend my whole life traveling, if I could borrow another life to spend at home.
Hazlitt, William

14.
One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to come up to you and show you a nice brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not bet this man, for as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up with an earful of cider.
Runyon, Damon

15.
Only the traveling is good which reveals to me the value of home and enables me to enjoy it better.
Thoreau, Henry David

16.
Most travel is best of all in the anticipation or the remembering; the reality has more to do with losing your luggage.
Nadelson, Regina

17.
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.

18.
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.

19.
Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.
Goldsmith, Oliver

20.
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train.
Wilde, Oscar

21.
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

22.
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

23.
The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.
Johnson, Samuel

24.
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.

25.
There is no looking at a building here after seeing Italy.
Burney, Fanny

26.
The routines of tourism are even more monotonous than those of daily life.
Cooley, Mason

27.
Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember and remember more than I have seen.
Disraeli, Benjamin

28.
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

29.
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

30.
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

31.
The bigger the summer vacation the harder the fall.

32.
I have just been all round the world and have formed a very poor opinion of it.
Beecham, Sir Thomas

33.
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

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

35.
Every year it takes less time to fly across the Atlantic and more time to drive to the office.

36.
Worth seeing? Yes; but not worth going to see.
Johnson, Samuel

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

38.
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

39.
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

40.
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

41.
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

42.
Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal.
Debord, Guy

43.
The fool wanders, a wise man travels.
Fuller, Thomas

44.
Those that say you can't take it with you never saw a car packed for a vacation trip.

45.
Life, as the most ancient of all metaphors insists, is a journey; and the travel book, in its deceptive simulation of the journey's fits and starts, rehearses life's own fragmentation. More even than the novel, it embraces the contingency of things.
Raban, Jonathan

46.
The American arrives in Paris with a few French phrases he has culled from a conversational guide or picked up from a friend who owns a beret.
Allen, Fred A.

47.
Visits always give pleasure; if not the arrival, the departure.
Proverb

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

49.
Writing and travel broaden your ass if not your mind and I like to write standing up.
Hemingway, Ernest

50.
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
