To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.

Old age is no place for sissies.

Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively.

I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand.

There are few things more pathetic than those who have lost their curiosity and sense of adventure, and who no longer care to learn.

The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.

As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.
