      “The open road is a beckoning, a strangeness, a place where a man can lose himself.” ~ William Least Heat Moon

        “Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.” ~ Mark Jenkins

          “I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.” ~ Lillian Smith

            “What you’ve done becomes the judge of what you’re going to do – especially in other people’s minds. When you’re traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don’t have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.” ~ William Least Heat Moon

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

                “Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe.” ~ Anatole France

                  “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

                    “Not all those who wander are lost.” ~ J. R. R. Tolkien

                      “A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” ~ Tim Cahill

                        “A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” ~ Lao Tzu

                          “Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by.” ~ Robert Frost

                            “To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” ~ Bill Bryson

                              “One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” ~ Henry Miller

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

                                    “There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.” ~ Robert Louis Stevenson

                                        “Fight one more round. When your arms are so tired that you can hardly lift your hands to come on guard, fight one more round. When your nose is bleeding and your eyes are black and you are so tired that you wish your opponent would crack you one on the jaw and put you to sleep, fight one more round – remembering that the man who always fights one more round is never whipped.” ~ James Corbett

                                          “I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.” ~ Ian Fleming
