I’m a poet and I didn’t even know it
Almost every time I log onto Facebook, I’m greeted by a litany of inspirational quotes on life and travel. After collecting a folder full of my favorites, I started writing my own.
So, I’m proud to present six thoughts on travel, on top of some of my favorite photos from the road…

Do you have a favorite quote that I didn’t post here?
I’d love to hear it in the comments section below!
Hey Greg, I love this post! I am a sucker for an inspirational quote and 37 of them in one post blows my mind :) My all-time favourite quote is: “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” ~ Nelson Mandela
Oooh, that’s a good one! I’ll save it for round 2 of this post. That Nelson. So wise! Thanks Caz :)
Some of these were already my inspiration, the ones that keep me going! But I found some new in your list which gave me an entirely different vision! Thank you! What do you think about this one? I read it somewhere & it intrigues me :
People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the kind of people they ignore at home.” – Dagobert D. Runes
Thanks,
Matt @ GetACarHire
Ooooh, that’s a fantastic one Matt. Thanks so much for sharing and for your kind words.
This is my favourite travel quote
“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” St. Augustine
Thanks Darlene! That’s a great one. Gotta add it to the next list :)
Awesome Greg…
Maybe i’ll dedicate a section on my WonderWall for these quotes…! ;)
Got a quote from a travel book “If you think there are only 100 places to travel in this book, then you’re missing the point of travelling”
and another one about North-East India – “The Journey is the Destination” ; a statement i found to be totally true on my jorurney through Sikkim…!
Thanks so much for those two fantastic quotes! The Journey is the Destination. Great!!! Would love to hear more about your travels through Sikkim…
“the overland traveller goes around the corner to see who there is to meet around the next corner” , max.
“the hitch hiker is there to give you the opportunity to do your good deed for the day”, max.
“an ultimate way of travel, try hitch hiking with a bike”, max.
Are those all your quotes? Those are great, Max!
And my personal favourite: “Not all those who wander are lost”
Love me some Tolkien on a Monday… or is it Thursday? Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks, Putra. I’m currently pulling together the next round from months of Facebook addiction :) It’s a slow process to make sure I have the best quotes possible. Stay tuned :)
