A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. ~Lao Tzu
Beyond the East the sunrise, beyond the West the sea,
And East and West the wanderlust that will not let me be;
It works in me like madness, dear, to bid me say, good-bye!
For the seas call and the stars call, and oh, the call of the sky.
~Gerald Gould, “Wanderlust,” c.1905
Too often travel, instead of broadening the mind, merely lengthens the conversation. ~Elizabeth Drew
Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe. ~Anatole France
These are the joys of the open road —
For him who travels without a load.
~Bliss Carman, “The Joys of the Road,” Songs from Vagabondia, 1894
No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on
his old, familiar pillow. ~Lin Yutang
Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind. ~Seneca
The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes “sight-seeing.” ~Daniel J. Boorstin
It is not down in any map; true places never are. ~Herman Melville
