 5.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.  No yesterdays on the road.  ~William Least Heat Moon, Blue Highways

6. To get away from one's working environment is, in a sense, to get away from one's self; and this is often the chief advantage of travel and change.  ~Charles Horton Cooley

 12. I travel a lot; I hate having my life disrupted by routine.  ~Caskie Stinnett

13. A passport, as I'm sure you know, is a document that one shows to government officials whenever one reaches a border between countries, so the officials can learn who you are, where you were born, and how you look when photographed unflatteringly.  ~Lemony Snicket

14. The traveler sees what he sees.  The tourist sees what he has come to see.  ~G.K. Chesterton

15. We wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment.  ~Hilaire Belloc

16. Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.  ~Benjamin Disraeli

All the pathos and irony of leaving one’s youth behind is thus implicit in every joyous moment of travel: one knows that the first joy can never be recovered, and the wise traveler learns not to repeat successes but tries new places all the time. – Paul Fussel

18.  A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. - LaoTzu

19.  A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles. -Tim Cahill
