No one
has yet fathomed
just what constitutes
happiness.
It is never
the present,
always the future.
A trip
is a journey
into the future.
A hunting
for happiness.
   -- Dr. Wilhelm
   Stekhel
   The Depths
   of the Soul

 

A traveller
without observation
is a bird
without wings.
   -- Saadi
   (Muslih-ud-Din)
   1184-1291

 

The use
of travelling
is to regulate
imagination
by reality,
and,
instead of thinking
how things may be,
to see them
as they are.
   -- Samuel Johnson
   1709-1784
   Anecdotes of
   Samuel Johnson,
1786

 

This is
a beautiful country.
   -- John Brown
   1800-1859
   Remark as he
   rode to gallows
   seated on his coffin,
   
1859

 

The wise traveler,
the self-indulgent,
and the happy one,
is he
who never looks
at his time-table
and hides his watch.
   -- John M. Brown
   1900-

In God's wilderness lies the hope of the world,
the great, fresh, unblighted, unredeemed wilderness.
