I am a big fan of quotes of words spoken or written by the famous and the infamous. I love the little gems of wisdom relayed in only a few words that tell what all of us think but few of us know how to say.
We all travel, and we face exactly the same situations as those who are wealthy and famous face. We’re sort of “all in the same boat” when we travel. Here are some of my favorite quotes about travel:
Charles Kuralt once said, “Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel from coast to coast without seeing anything.”
Henry J. Tillman had it right when he said, “The saying ‘Getting there is half the fun’ became obsolete with the advent of commercial airlines.”
William Least Heat Moon (an American travel writer) said, “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. There are no yesterdays on the road.”
Kin Hubbard was an American cartoonist, humorist, and journalist who said, “Of all the unbearable nuisances, the ignoramus that has traveled is the worst.”
Robert Louis Stevenson said, “I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.”
Dave Barry quipped, “Americans who travel abroad for the first time are often shocked to discover that, despite all the progress that has been made in the last 30 years, many foreign people still speak in foreign languages.”
And last but by no means least, Ernest Hemingway nailed it down when he said, “Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.”
