6. “Travel while you are young enough to enjoy it! As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or a $30.00 watch – – they both tell the same time. Whether we carry a $300 or a $30.00 wallet/handbag – – the amount of money inside is the same. Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $15 wine – – the hangover is the same. Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3000 sq. ft. – – loneliness is the same. Whether you drive a $8,000 Honda or a $80,000 Benz –they both serve the same purpose.

In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.”   — Mark Jenkins

10. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”   — Steve Jobs

    Thank you for compiling all these inspiring travel quotes. I would love to do as much travelling as I can, however, I have been limited to staying home due to my own health issues and my husband’s too. It would be great to have energy again and start travelling. For the meantime, I will be content with reading about places I wish I could visit.
