 | "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." * Lao Tzu There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign. * Robert Louis Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends. * Maya Angelou 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. * Lord Byron A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it. * John Steinbeck For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move. * Robert Louis Stevenson I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them. * Mark Twain "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." * Mark Twain "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." * Helen Keller "Traveling is almost like talking with men of other centuries." * René Descartes "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 |

| Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you'll be able to see farther. * Thomas Carlyle Too many of us wait to do the perfect thing, with the result we do nothing. The way to get ahead is to start now. While many of us are waiting until conditions are 'just right' before we go ahead, others are stumbling along, fortunately ignorant of the dangers that beset them. By the time we are, in our superior wisdom, decided to make a start, we discover that those who have gone fearlessly on before, have, in their blundering way, traveled a considerable distance. If you start now, you will know a lot next year that you don't know now, and that you will not know next year, if you wait. * The William Feather Magazine |
