Here are the others I particularly liked, I had a lot more but these are the others (to the ones above) which struck a chord.<BR><BR>Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. <BR>Ralph Waldo Emerson<BR><BR>Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World. <BR>Christopher Columbus<BR><BR>It is better to travel well than to arrive. <BR>Buddha <BR><BR>The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land. <BR>Gilbert K. Chesterton <BR><BR>To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries. <BR>Aldous Huxley <BR><BR>People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering. <BR>Saint Augustine <BR><BR>Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience. <BR>Sir Francis Bacon <BR><BR>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. <BR>Maya Angelou <BR><BR>When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable. <BR>Clifton Paul Fadiman <BR><BR>If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears. <BR>Cesare Pavese <BR><BR>I travel a lot; I hate having my life disrupted by routine. <BR>Caskie Stinnett<BR><BR>Travel is the most private of pleasures. There is no greater bore than the travel bore. We do not in the least want to hear what he has seen in Hong-Kong. <BR>Vita Sackville-West<BR><BR>Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living. <BR>Miriam Beard <BR><BR>The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. <BR>Marcel Proust<BR><BR>Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it. <BR>Greg Anderson <BR><BR>There is great meaning in life for those who are willing to journey. <BR>Jim England <BR><BR>Many a trip continues long after movement in time and space have ceased. <BR>John Steinbeck <BR><BR>The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see. <BR>Gilbert K. Chesterton <BR><BR>A wise traveler never despises his own country. <BR>William Hazlitt <BR><BR>The true traveler is he who goes on foot, and even then, he sits down a lot of the time. <BR>Colette <BR><BR>There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign. <BR>Robert Louis Stevenson <BR><BR>Those who visit foreign nations, but associate only with their own country-men, change their climate, but not their customs. They see new meridians, but the same men; and with heads as empty as their pockets, return home with traveled bodies, but untravelled minds. <BR>Charles Caleb Colton<BR>

Patrick-I've been in and out of Union Station a zillion times, and I confess I've never seen this-but yes, I would agree with you-and remember, in Washington, the more pompous and long-winded statement is always going to win out over the more straight-forward and simplistic!
