Travel Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Travel

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

2.
The saying "Getting there is half the fun" became obsolete with the advent of commercial airlines.
Henry J. Tillman

3.
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

4.
Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel from coast to coast without seeing anything.
Charles Kuralt

5.
Most travel is best of all in the anticipation or the remembering; the reality has more to do with losing your luggage.
Nadelson, Regina

6.
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

7.
Inter-railers are the ambulatory equivalent of Macdonald's, walking testimony to the erosion of French culture.
Thompson, Alice

8.
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

9.
The routines of tourism are even more monotonous than those of daily life.
Cooley, Mason

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

12.
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

13.
Being on tour sends me crazy, I drink too much and out comes the John Mcenroe in me.
Hynde, Chrissie

14.
The fool wanders, a wise man travels.
Fuller, Thomas

15.
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

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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.

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.
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

21.
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

22.
The tourist who moves about to see and hear and open himself to all the influences of the places which condense centuries of human greatness is only a man in search of excellence.
Lerner, Max

23.
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train.
Wilde, Oscar

24.
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Huxley, Aldous

25.
You perceive I generalize with intrepidity from single instances. It is the tourist's custom.
Twain, Mark

26.
If it's tourist season, why can't we kill them?

27.
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

28.
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

29.
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.

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.
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

32.
An involuntary return to the point of departure is, without doubt, the most disturbing of all journeys.
Sinclair, Iain

33.
The average tourist wants to go to places where there are no tourists.
Ewing, Sam

34.
The alternative to a vacation is to stay home and tip every third person you see.

35.
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

36.
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.

37.
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

38.
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

39.
Every year it takes less time to fly across the Atlantic and more time to drive to the office.

40.
Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal.
Debord, Guy

41.
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.

42.
Travel makes a wise man better, and a fool worse
Fuller, Thomas

43.
I am leaving the town to the invaders: increasingly numerous, mediocre, dirty, badly behaved, shameless tourists.
Bardot, Brigitte

44.
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

45.
Travel only with thy equals or thy betters; if there are none, travel alone.
The Dhammapada

46.
Travel is only glamorous in retrospect.
Paul Theroux

47.
Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

48.
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.

49.
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

50.
In traveling, a man must carry knowledge with him, if he would bring home knowledge.
Johnson, Samuel
