In traveling, a man must carry knowledge with him, if he would bring home knowledge.

He travels best that knows when to return. Middleton For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.

I would like to spend my whole life traveling, if I could borrow another life to spend at home.

I swims in the Tagus all across at once, and I rides on an ass or a mule, and swears Portuguese, and have got a diarrhea and bites from the mosquitoes. But what of that? Comfort must not be expected by folks that go a pleasuring.

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

Though there are some disagreeable things in Venice there is nothing so disagreeable as the visitors.

Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember and remember more than I have seen.

You perceive I generalize with intrepidity from single instances. It is the tourist's custom.

Comes over one an absolute necessity to move. And what is more, to move in some particular direction. A double necessity then: to get on the move, and to know whither.

A man should ever be ready booted to take his journey.
