Travel Quotes
You'll never reach the end of the road while you're traveling with me. //-// Crowded House

Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune, Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing, Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms, Strong and content I travel the open road. - [|Walt Whitman], [|Song of the Open Road]

There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign. - Robert Louis Stevenson, The Silverado Squatters

Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen. - Benjamin Disraeli

Aquel que quiere viajar felizmente debe viajar ligero. - Antoine de Saint Exupéry
