There comes a point in your life when you need to stop reading other people’s books and write your own.

It doesn’t matter how old your sneakers are, if you walking in them in Paris.в

Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.

Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times

Adventures may hurt you but monotony will kill you.**

Life is short and the world is wide

A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.

Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

The use of traveling is to regulate imagination with reality, and instead of thinking of how things may be, see them as they are.

You don’t have to be rich to travel well.

To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.

Remember that happiness is a way of travel – not a destination.

Nobody can discover the world for somebody else. Only when we discover it for ourselves does it become common ground and a common bond and we cease to be alone.

Investment in travel is an investment in yourself.

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

The gladdest moment in human life, me thinks, is a departure into unknown lands.

Live your life by a compass, not a clock.

Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.

Take every chance you get in life, because some things only happen once.

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.

I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.

Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain.

I’m in love with cities I’ve never been to and people I’ve never met.

Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.

I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.

The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and reacher experience.

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware.

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.

To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.

A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.

The real voyage of discover consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.

Travel brings power and love back into your life.

Some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost.

No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.

There are two kinds of travel: first class and with children.

The impulse to travel is one of the hopeful symptoms of life

Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world

The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.

I love the feeling of being anonymous in a city I’ve never been before.

It feels good to be lost in the right direction

You have to keep listening and thinking and being critical and self-critical. Remember General Nivelle, in the First World War, at Verdun? He said he had the solution and then destroyed the French Army until it mutinied.

My focus in 2010 was on just running fast races. My focus in 2011 was for winning at the World Championships. This year has been a combination of the two so we'll see what kind of time it brings.

We have been given the trust and goodwill of New Zealanders. I do not take that trust for granted, and I never will.

The heart in every human is the sacred love.

One of the things I've really come to realise is that the chances of arriving at a universal truth are increased if you remain absolutely faithful to the contingencies of your own experience and the vagaries of your own nature.

You go for the quality of the performance, not the longevity of it.
