Since I’ve been traveling so much lately, here’s some quotes on the subject:

Travel has a way of stretching the mind. The stretch comes not from travel’s immediate rewards, the inevitable myriad new sights, smells and sounds, but with experiencing firsthand how others do differently what we believed to be the right and only way.
–Ralph Crawshaw

We must get beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.
–John Hope Franklin

The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page.
–Saint Augustine

When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.
–Susan Heller
