Five for Friday… well said

Everyone smiles in the same language (Vietnam, 2006)

I’m always coming across clever or quirky words some wise or witty person has said – words that inspire me, make me think or make me laugh.

I scribble them down on bits of paper… and they promptly get sucked up in the vortex that is my office and my life.

After scrabbling around for a bit, I’ve found some of my favourite (travel) quotes.

Here’s five for Friday… just in time for the weekend.

1. “I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.” (Mary Anne Radmacher)
2. “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” (Mark Twain)
3. “Personally I like going places where I don’t speak the language, don’t know anybody, don’t know my way around and don’t have any delusions that I’m in control. Disoriented, even frightened, I feel alive, awake in ways I never am at home.” (Michael Mewshaw)
4. “It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” (Ernest Hemingway)
5. “I haven’t been everywhere yet. But it’s on the list.” (unknown)
