10 Best Travel Quotes

by Barbara Peterson

Here are the ten best quotes, in my opinion, in why it is necessary to travel.

1. “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”
St. Augustine

2. “One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”
Henry Miller

3.  “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bow-lines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Mark Twain

 4. “Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travelers don’t know where they’re going.”
Paul Theroux

5. “Not all those who wander are lost.”
J. R. R. Tolkien

6.  “Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.”
Mark Jenkins

7. “Focus on your destination but enjoy every sacred moments of the journey”
Laila Gifty Akita

8. "The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready. "
Henry David Thoreau

9.“It is necessary to sail, it is not necessary to live.”
Pompey

And perhaps the most important and crucial of all...

10. "Eat dessert first. Life is uncertain"
