Perspective on Travel

“A man of ordinary talent will always be ordinary, whether he travels or not; but a man of superior talent will go to pieces if he remains forever in the same place.”

--Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

“If you don’t travel, you are viewing the world through a keyhole. When you travel, it is like looking at the world from a helicopter.” 

--Salman Ahmad, Pakistani rock star

"You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world." 
--William Hazlitt 

"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends." 

--Maya Angelou 

"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." 
--Saint Augustine

"The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see." 

--Gilbert K. Chesterton
