Do you have a favorite travel quotation?

It would be fun to hear your favorite travel quotation. One of mine is "The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page" Saint Augustine of Hippo. I would love to read more quotations from fellow travelers.<BR>

Just because I love this so much:<BR><BR>——— Sea Fever ———<BR>I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky<BR>And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;<BR>And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,<BR>And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking,<BR><BR>I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide<BR>Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;<BR>And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,<BR>And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying<BR><BR>I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,<BR>To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;<BR>And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,<BR>And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.<BR><BR>John Masefield<BR>

" Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do, than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sales. Explore. Dream. Discover." * Sometimes attributed to Mark Twain. <BR><BR>"He is truly wise who has traveled far, and knows the ways of the world" Old Nordic saying.

"Don't worry about what to pack because whatever you take, it'll be the wrong things." Spoken by my cousin's wife, Ann, and freely borrowed many times.
