Words of Wisdom

Here's something new for all you readers. Some awesome travel quotes! (yaaaaay!)

"The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land." - Gilbert Keith Chesterton

"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

"A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving." - Lau Tzu

"The rewards of the journey far outweigh the risk of leaving the harbor." - Unknown.

"We may run, walk, stumble, drive, or fly, but let us never lose sight of the reason for the journey, or miss a chance to see a rainbow on the way." - Gloria Gaither

"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night." - Edgar Allan Poe

"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 bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - H. Jackson Brown (often attributed to Mark Twain, but cannot be substantiated)

"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." - Lao Tzu (and this one's in my living room!)
