“Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.”

Maya Angelou

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”

Maya Angelou

“This is a wonderful day. I have never seen this one before.”

Maya Angelou

I have no reason to go, except that I have never been, and knowledge is better than ignorance. What better reason could there be for travelling?

Freya Stark

The tourist travels in his own atmosphere like a snail in his shell and stands, as it were, on his own perambulating doorstep to look at the continents of the world. But if you discard all this, and sally forth with a leisurely and blank mind, there is no knowing what may not happen to you.

Freya Stark

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.

Mark Twain

We wish to learn all the curious, outlandish ways of all the different countries, so that we can “show off” and astonish people when we get home. We wish to excite the envy of our untraveled friends with our strange foreign fashions which we can’t shake off.

Mark Twain

It was not lively enough for a pleasure trip; but if we had only had a corpse it would have made a noble funeral excursion.

Mark Twain

If you are wise and know the art of travel, let yourself go on the stream of the unknown and accept whatever comes in the spirit in which the gods may offer it.

Freya Stark

If I were asked to enumerate the pleasures of travel, this would be one of the greatest among them that so often and so unexpectedly you meet the best in human nature.

Freya Stark

The gentle reader will never, never know what a consummate ass he can become, until he goes abroad.

Mark Twain

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.”

Maya Angelou

Why will people be so stupid as to suppose themselves the only foreigners among a crowd of ten thousand persons?

Mark Twain

“All great achievements require time.”

Maya Angelou

“Nothing will work unless you do.”

Maya Angelou

“The truth is, no one of us can be free until everybody is free.”

Maya Angelou

Your customary thoughts, all except the rarest of your friends, even most of your luggage - everything, in fact, which belongs to your everyday life, is merely a hindrance.

Freya Stark

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry… but it can introduce the idea that we may even become friends.”

Maya Angelou

“If you are always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be.”

Maya Angelou

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

Mark Twain
