Ten Great Travel Quotes

by Tim on April 16, 2009

We’re heading on the road again…we just can’t stop. We’re totally hooked. Why? Others have said it better in the past…

1

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

-Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken

2

The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.

~G.K. Chesterton

3

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.

-Lao-Tzu

 

4

So you set out to travel to Rome… and end up in Istanbul. You set off for Japan… and you end up on a train across Siberia. The journey, not the destination, becomes a source of wonder.

-Loreena McKennitt

5

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

6

             “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” -

Ralph Waldo Emerson

7

“Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.”

- Seneca

8

“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”

- Lao Tzu

9

The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.

~St. Augustine

10

It is not down in any map; true places never are. 

~Herman Melville

I have read the quotes once, then gone back and read them again looking for a favorite, tried it a third time…decided each gives my mind something to think about. I love them all! Happy Travels

Love these quotes. #2 isa my favorite, probably because it justifies the amount of tourist attractions I’ve never brought my children to. ;) I hate standing in line to see or do something I’m “supposed to”. Give me a winding road and unexpected stop anytime!!

I love your quotes…I’m familiar with most of them but it’s so nice to be reminded! I have a wanderlust heart but now I’m settled in somewhere Maryland. I’m ready to go again!
