There is no looking at a building here after seeing Italy.

Travel Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Travel

1.
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

2.
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

3.
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

4.
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

5.
Travel makes a wise man better, and a fool worse
Fuller, Thomas

6.
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

7.
I am leaving the town to the invaders: increasingly numerous, mediocre, dirty, badly behaved, shameless tourists.
Bardot, Brigitte

8.
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.

9.
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.

10.
A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.
George Moore

11.
The personal appropriation of clich?s is a condition for the spread of cultural tourism.
Daney, Serge

12.
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

13.
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

14.
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

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.
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

17.
Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember and remember more than I have seen.
Disraeli, Benjamin

18.
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

19.
The saying "Getting there is half the fun" became obsolete with the advent of commercial airlines.
Henry J. Tillman

20.
Being on tour sends me crazy, I drink too much and out comes the John Mcenroe in me.
Hynde, Chrissie

21.
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Huxley, Aldous

22.
Worth seeing? Yes; but not worth going to see.
Johnson, Samuel

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 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

25.
In America there are two classes of travel - first class, and with children.
Benchley, Robert

26.
In traveling, a man must carry knowledge with him, if he would bring home knowledge.
Johnson, Samuel

27.
Travel is only glamorous in retrospect.
Paul Theroux

28.
You perceive I generalize with intrepidity from single instances. It is the tourist's custom.
Twain, Mark

29.
Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

30.
Before he sets out, the traveler must possess fixed interests and facilities to be served by travel.
George Santayana

31.
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

32.
Travel is a fools paradise.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
When one realizes that his life is worthless he either commits suicide or travels.
Dahlberg, Edward

34.
Life on board a pleasure steamer violates every moral and physical condition of healthy life except fresh air. It is a guzzling, lounging, gambling, dog's life. The only alternative to excitement is irritability.
Shaw, George Bernard

35.
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

36.
The true traveler is he who goes on foot, and even then, he sits down a lot of the time.
Colette

37.
Writing and travel broaden your ass if not your mind and I like to write standing up.
Hemingway, Ernest

38.
If my ship sails from sight, it doesn't mean my journey ends, it simply means the river bends.
Powell, John Enoch

39.
Most travel is best of all in the anticipation or the remembering; the reality has more to do with losing your luggage.
Nadelson, Regina

40.
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

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.
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

43.
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.

44.
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

45.
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

46.
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

47.
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

48.
The fool wanders, a wise man travels.
Fuller, Thomas

49.
Travel is ninety percent anticipation and ten percent recollection.
Streeter, Edward

50.
The average tourist wants to go to places where there are no tourists.
Ewing, Sam
