• The traveler sees what he sees; the tripper sees what he has come to see-- G.K. Chesterton
• Never journey without something to eat in your pocket. If only to throw to dogs when attacked by them--E.S. Bates

I also like this which suggest the kind of person with whom one would not want to travel:

• A bore is a person who deprives you of your solitude without providing you with company.

Haven't we all had our fair share of those! :))

Oh, just realized, you were off-line for a while and may not know I was banned, then came back.

Ha, I still have hope you didn't mean I am a bore ;)

And that quote is incomplete, it should be something like this:

&quot;wherever you go, there you are. your luggage is another matter&quot;

The traveler is active - he or she goes strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he or she expects interesting things to happen to them. They go &quot;sight-seeing.&quot;

&quot;Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.&quot;

Faina, I realized after that was posted that it might be taken personally...I only meant it for one poster, he always pops back up, wearing his little blacktie..lol.

Tiff...You can say that again!! ((F))

Someone I work with said this once (don't know if he lifted it from another source or not). It isn't specifically travel related but I like it:

&quot;Failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.&quot;

and in the seize the day frame of mind, I heard the late, great Walter Payton say, &quot;Tomorrow is promised to no man.&quot;

Travelers never think that <i>they</i> are the foreigners. Mason Cooley

Someone ought to make-up a great quote about fanny packs, yes?

Not necessarily travel specific but ...&quot;Wisdom is knowing there is always more to learn &quot;...

If an ass goes traveling, he'll not come back a horse.

Citylghts Jul 11th, 2006 10:56 AM

Not specifically related to travel and not sure if the list is all inclusive but...

<i>You should make a point of trying every experience once, excepting incest and folk dancing.</i>

-Sir Arnold Bax

CityLights, LOL

JAGIRL Jul 11th, 2006 11:34 AM

citylights,
I had planned on making it a general quotes thread but then...it might get deleted...because, you know...this <i><u>is </u></i> a <font color="blue">Travel<font color="black"> forum! ;;)

I suspect that as long as the thread remains *kind of* travel related in some way all quotes are welcome. :)

These are great so far...keep em coming guys! ((#))B-)</font></font>
