“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness., and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.” ~ Mark Twain
Great quotes Shilpa thank you ..
Thanks Susan!
My grandparents were superstitious and greatly discouraged any journey beginning on a Friday. Not really a quote, except that has always stuck in my mind.
Oh, that’s interesting. Never heard of it. Thanks for sharing, Stephanie!
Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before. – Dalai Lama
Travel Goals
Absolutely!
Don’t call it a dream…call it a plan. (I forgot who said this.)
Guess, it’s unknown! 🙂
For me the best quote is the Dalai Lama one – I try to get out to places where I havent been ever and thats how the list gets done for me.
Q is for Quirky Roald Dahl #atozchallenge
True that, you need to explore newer lands 🙂
Some awesome quotes here. Agree with them. As James said, when you go somewhere you need to experience their culture. I find it a bit odd when people go to Japan and say they want idli and dosa.
Hahaha.. I know what you mean. I was at Bali for work and the client company had arranged ALL meals at an Indian restaurant. It was a head-wall moment. 😐
My favourite one was Ibn Batuta’s. Probably the oldest traveler quoted here. Lovely post Shilpa – q for quotes is a good one.
Thanks Kalpanaa 🙂

Adventures… indeed fill your soul.. The quotes here too fill ones soul 🙂
True that!! 🙂
Nice quotes Shilpa, my favourite is Augustine Hippo and the other one is Mark Twain… twenty years from now you will be more disappointed with the things you didn’t do… I like to follow Dalai Lama’s advice too 🙂
Great choices, Genevive! 🙂
Wonderful quotes, Shilpa.
As a travel lover, I agree with all of them!
Ready to – Travel! Explore! Dream! Discover!
Thank you, Anita! 🙂
Not all those who wander are lost – One of my favorites!
Loved the compilation here, Shilpa.
Thank you, Soumya 🙂
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.
Love that one. Thanks for sharing, Romila 🙂
All quotes are beautiful and meaningful
Thanks!
Travel is definitely soul food.
Absolutely!
My favourite is something to this effect — “What matters is not the destination, but the journey”.
Yes, that’s what one should be focusing on!
What a great collection. Most, I’d never read before.
Thanks Jacqui. Glad you enjoyed reading them!
Such beautiful travel quotes, Shilpa 🙂
Wonderfully compiled. I enjoyed reading them.
Thanks Purba!
Lovely quotes worth enough to make you a traveller.
Well said. Thanks Rashmi!
This was an exhaustive and a really wonderful list of travel quotes. Bookmarked it dear♥️
Thanks much, Roma! ♥
Ibn Battuta and the Dalai Lama speak my language:)
Wishing you a life full of travels dear Shilpa.
Q is for Quotes on my fridge door in Qatar
Thanks a lot for your lovely wishes, Arti. Wishing you wonderful travels too ♥
I loved every quote, Shilpa! Indeed inspiring!
Glad you enjoyed reading them, Shilpa 🙂
I love them all but this one is my favourite – Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller. Great quotes.
Oh yes, travelers have some fascinating stories. Thanks Deepa!
“Jobs fill your pocket, but adventures fill your soul.” I love that quote and all the others as well, Shilpa. The Mark Twain quote is also extremely inspiring. As Hans Christian Andersen put it, “To travel is to live.” I believe that implicitly.
I like the Mark Twain quote! Motivating!
Quotes for a particular destination, by different tour agents sometimes may put the wanderlust to rest. The quotes shared here will revive it for sure!
I loved the Ibn Battuta quote. One for the fact I can 100% relate it to my travel experiences. Second one…There’s a Ibn Battuta Mall in Dubai. Various parts of it are aesthetically done to reflect the country Ibn Batutta had traveled as a sailor / voyager. Walking through the mall inspires one to travel to these countries and one of them is India!
Wow! That’s interesting. Thanks for sharing about Ibn Battuta Mall, Anagha 🙂
Beautiful travel Quotes.
My favorite Mark Twain and Dalai Lama ‘s quote….
