When you love and accept yourself, when you know who really cares about you, and when you learn from your mistakes, then you stop caring about what people who don’t know you think.
Beyonce KnowlesGoing to the woods is going home, for I suppose we came from the woods originally. But in some of nature’s forests, the adventurous traveler seems a feeble, unwelcome creature; wild beasts and the weather trying to kill him, the rank, tangled vegetation, armed with spears and stinging needles, barring his way and making life a hard struggle.
John MuirI wasn’t a pretty girl. I was six feet tall at 15, you know.
Maya AngelouI was born in Europe… and I’ve traveled all over the world. I can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerTo be able to travel the world, especially to places I never thought I’d be… it’s really, you know, still fascinating for me.
Beyonce KnowlesThe whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThe longer I am out of office, the more infallible I appear to myself.
Henry KissingerI’m one of the most adaptable guys I know in as much as travelling is my favourite thing to do in life. With every place I go, I try to stay there long enough to do it justice, long enough so that I can at least imagine what it would be like to live there. Once I imagine that, then it’s OK for me to return home.
Matthew McConaugheyAnd, honestly, if somebody wants to criticize me for not being a trainwreck, that’s fine with me!
Taylor SwiftI hope to play until I’m, like, 38 or something, and that’s a lot of years in the game and a lot of travel and a lot of sacrifice on my family’s part.
Stephen CurryHere ends my forever memorable first High Sierra excursion. I have crossed the Range of Light, surely the brightest and best of all the Lord has built. And, rejoicing in its glory, I gladly, gratefully, hopefully pray I may see it again.
John MuirWhen I grow up, I want to be like Balvin.
Bad BunnyThe use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.
Samuel JohnsonIf you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.
Ernest HemingwayActing helped me as I was growing up. It helped me learn about myself, helped me travel, helped me understand life, express myself, all those wonderful things. So I’m very, very grateful; it’s a fun job. It’s a luxury.
Angelina JolieWhether I’m wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I’m always the same person inside.
Lady GagaI like to combine visits to more than one place when I go on my international tours in order to get more done. I’m from Ahmedabad where we have a saying, ‚Single-fare, double journey.‘
Narendra ModiI found that part of it towards San Salvador extending from north to south five leagues, and the other side which we coasted along, ran from east to west more than ten leagues.
Christopher ColumbusLike all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.
Benjamin DisraeliWe want an Afghanistan that is shaped by the dreams of the great Afghan people, not by irrational fears and overreaching ambitions of others.
Narendra ModiWhether you come from a council estate or a country estate, your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude.
Michelle ObamaOnly in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.
Terry PratchettOur daily deeds as ordinary South Africans must produce an actual South African reality that will reinforce humanity’s belief in justice, strengthen its confidence in the nobility of the human soul, and sustain all our hopes for a glorious life for all.
Nelson MandelaThere is nothing more miserable in the world than to arrive in paradise and look like your passport photo.
Erma BombeckIn all my wild mountaineering, I have enjoyed only one avalanche ride; and the start was so sudden, and the end came so soon, I thought but little of the danger that goes with this sort of travel, though one thinks fast at such times.
John MuirConfidence… thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live.
Franklin D. RooseveltI know that I always wanted things. I was always proud of my people, proud of my home, but I always wanted more. I think most people do.
Dolly PartonBe happy with being you. Love your flaws. Own your quirks. And know that you are just as perfect as anyone else, exactly as you are.
Ariana GrandeThere are people in the world who have skills and strength and talent that I will never have. Never. These notions that you can ‚be whatever you want to be as long as you want it bad enough‘ are not true. They are fairy tales.
Jocko WillinkI’ve never been an intellectual but I have this look.
Woody AllenI shook up the world, I shook up the world.
Muhammad AliYou learn a lot from traveling around.
AuroraWhen I say something’s going to happen, it’s going to happen.
Conor McGregorIf I’m in Rome for only 48 hours, I would consider it a sin against God to not eat cacio e pepe, the most uniquely Roman of pastas, in some crummy little joint where Romans eat. I’d much rather do that than go to the Vatican. That’s Rome to me.
Anthony BourdainAll you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.
Mark TwainMy life is the road, man. I need to keep moving.
Matthew McConaugheyI was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.
Amy WinehouseTrust your instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWhen I was 8 years old, I saw ‚Raiders of the Lost Ark‘ in Charlotte, North Carolina. I walked out of there and was so inspired. I loved the movie, and I knew I wanted to be that guy.
Dwayne JohnsonI have been on the road and visited numerous places and met people from all over the globe. I can say that it looks nearly the same everywhere I have been: The climate crisis is ignored by people in charge, despite the science being crystal clear.
Greta ThunbergWhen all the routines and details and the human bores get on our nerves, we just yearn to go away from here to somewhere else. To go fishing is a sound, a valid, and an accepted reason for an escape. It requires no explanation.
Herbert HooverI’m confident with my ability.
LeBron JamesI always seem to get inspiration and renewed vitality by contact with this great novel land of yours which sticks up out of the Atlantic.
Winston ChurchillI used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night, ‚There must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me dreaming of being a movie star.‘ But I’m not going to worry about them. I’m dreaming the hardest.
Marilyn MonroeYou gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‚I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.‘
Eleanor RooseveltI would wear the blue overalls of the fieldworker and often wore round, rimless glasses known as Mazzawati teaglasses. I had a car, and I wore a chauffeur’s cap with my overalls. The pose of chauffeur was convenient because I could travel under the pretext of driving my master’s car.
Nelson MandelaUntil 1914 I loved to travel; I often went to Italy and once spent a few months in India. Since then I have almost entirely abandoned travelling, and I have not been outside of Switzerland for over ten years.
Hermann HesseIn my heart, I’m confident I could make a good president.
Joe BidenSometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.
DrakeAnywhere I go, there is always an incredible crowd that follows me. In Rome, as I land at the airport, even the men kiss me. I love Rome.
Muhammad AliWho wants to leave the door open to being dominated physically by another human being? Jiu Jitsu gives you the ability to not be dominated by that person, and to me, that’s real peace of mind. I don’t have to worry about that when I’m walking around in the world.
Jocko WillinkI would like to go back to Wales. I’m obsessed with my childhood and at least three times a week dream I am back there.
Anthony HopkinsI’m really good at sleeping on planes. I mean, I smell jet fuel and I’m out; I’m asleep for takeoff.
Anthony BourdainIt’s not the destination that matters. It’s the change of scene.
Brian EnoIt is natural to want to have a future.
Alice WalkerUpon the farm of the uncle with whom I lived, we did know of the mortgage as some dreadful damper on youthful hopes of things that could not be bought. I do have a vivid recollection that the major purpose of a farm was to produce a living right on the spot for the family.
Herbert HooverThe traveller has reached the end of the journey!
Edmund BurkeThere are times when a leader must move out ahead of the flock, go off in a new direction, confident that he is leading his people the right way.
Nelson MandelaA fortunate author can write maybe twelve novels in his lifetime.
Haruki MurakamiWhen you’re traveling constantly, every day you become inspired, and it shows in my work, sonically, lyrically, visually. Conversations with women with different accents and stories told in those accents. I like to create characters based on different people I’ve met, and relationships. I like to tell stories loosely based on real-life events.
