Travel

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
Travel Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Travel

1.
A man should ever be ready booted to take his journey.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

2.
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

3.
Travel makes a wise man better, and a fool worse
Fuller, Thomas

4.
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

5.
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.

6.
Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.
Goldsmith, Oliver

7.
Old men and far travelers may lie with authority.

8.
The time to enjoy a European tour is about three weeks after you unpack.
Ade, George

9.
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

10.
The average tourist wants to go to places where there are no tourists.
Ewing, Sam

11.
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

12.
Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.
Theroux, Paul

13.
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

14.
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.

15.
Travelers are like poets. They are mostly an angry race.
Burton, Sir Richard

16.
Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel from coast to coast without seeing anything.
Charles Kuralt

17.
In the middle ages people were tourists because of their religion, whereas now they are tourists because tourism is their religion.
Runcie, Robert

18.
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

19.
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

20.
Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember and remember more than I have seen.
Disraeli, Benjamin

21.
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

22.
There is no looking at a building here after seeing Italy.
Burney, Fanny

23.
If my ship sails from sight, it doesn't mean my journey ends, it simply means the river bends.
Powell, John Enoch

24.
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

25.
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.
George Moore

26.
Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal.
Debord, Guy

27.
Being on tour sends me crazy, I drink too much and out comes the John Mcenroe in me.
Hynde, Chrissie

28.
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

29.
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Huxley, Aldous

30.
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

31.
Using a camera appeases the anxiety which the work-driven feel about not working when they are on vacation and supposed to be having fun. They have something to do that is like a friendly imitation of work: they can take pictures.
Sontag, Susan

32.
If you look like your passport picture you're too ill to travel.
Kommen, Will

33.
Travel is ninety percent anticipation and ten percent recollection.
Streeter, Edward

34.
Travel only with thy equals or thy betters; if there are none, travel alone.
The Dhammapada

35.
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.

36.
If it's tourist season, why can't we kill them?

37.
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

38.
The alternative to a vacation is to stay home and tip every third person you see.

39.
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

40.
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

41.
Those that say you can't take it with you never saw a car packed for a vacation trip.

42.
A wise traveler never depreciates their own country.
Goldoni, Carlo

43.
The saying "Getting there is half the fun" became obsolete with the advent of commercial airlines.
Henry J. Tillman

44.
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train.
Wilde, Oscar

45.
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

46.
Traveling makes a man wiser, but less happy.
Jefferson, Thomas

47.
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

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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
