“The most impactful moments of my life have been the clean ones. The clean streets in the early a.m. hours—the town is mine to own. The blank pages—no story yet written. The new friendship, the new name, the new pair of eyes staring into mine and I can be whoever I want from now on.”

“We are travelers traveling together in this wonderful journey called life! Sometimes we are happy and sometimes we are sad. But as long as we will travel together we will make our journey a beautiful one!”

“Once in a very long time you come across a book that is far, far more than the ink, the glue and the paper, a book that seeps into your blood. With such a book the impact isn’t necessarily obvious at first…but the more you read it and re-read it, and live with it, and travel with it, the more it speaks to you, and the more you realize that you cannot live without that book. It’s then that the wisdom hidden inside, the seed, is passed on.”

“The world is full of beautiful places. Let your heart be one of them.”

“Of the gladdest moments in human life, methinks, is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands. Shaking off with one mighty effort the fetters of Habit, the leaden weight of Routine, the cloak of many Cares and the slavery of Civilization, man feels once more happy.”

“An ardent desire to go took possession of me once more. Not because I wanted to leave – I was quite all right on this Cretan coast, and felt happy and free there and I needed nothing – but because I have always been consumed with one desire; to touch and see as much as possible of the earth and the sea before I die.”

“Travel Moulds A Man,People Mould His Wisdom And Experiences Mould His LIFE…!”

“A good traveler leaves no tracks. Good speech lacks fault-finding.”

“ما في المقامِ لذي عقلٍ وذي أدبمِنْ رَاحَة ٍ فَدعِ الأَوْطَانَ واغْتَرِبِسافر تجد عوضاً عمَّن تفارقهُوَانْصِبْ فَإنَّ لَذِيذَ الْعَيْشِ فِي النَّصَبِإني رأيتُ وقوفَ الماء يفسدهُإِنْ سَال طَابَ وَإنْ لَمْ يَجْرِ لَمْ يَطِبِوالأسدُ لولا فراقُ الأرض ما افترستوالسَّهمُ لولا فراقُ القوسِ لم يصبوالشمس لو وقفت في الفلكِ دائمة لَمَلَّهَا النَّاسُ مِنْ عُجْمٍ وَمِنَ عَرَبِو البدر لولا أفول منه ما نظرتإليه في كل حين عين مرتقبوالتَّبْرَ كالتُّرْبَ مُلْقَى في أَمَاكِنِه والعودُ في أرضه نوعً من الحطبفإن تغرَّب هذا عزَّ مطلبهُ وإنْ تَغَرَّبَ ذَاكَ عَزَّ كالذَّهَبِِ”

“Paradise was always over there, a day’s sail away. But it’s a funny thing, escapism. You can go far and wide and you can keep moving on and on through places and years, but you never escape your own life. I, finally, knew where my life belonged. Home.”

“Travel brings wisdom only to the wise. It renders the ignorant more ignorant than ever.”

“Come to think of it, maybe God is a He after all, because only a cruel force would create something this beautiful and make it inaccessible to most people.”

“From this point forward, you don’t even know how to quit in life.”~ Aaron Lauritsen, ‘100 Days Drive”
