The Value of Travel

 The Value of Travel

“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving.” –Lao Tzu

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness. -Mark Twain

“We wish to learn all the curious, outlandish ways of all the different countries, so that we can 'show off' and astonish people when we get home. We wish to excite the envy of our untraveled friends with our strange foreign fashions which we can't shake off. All our passengers are paying strict attention to this thing, with the end in view which I have mentioned. The gentle reader will never, never know what a consummate ass he can become, until he goes abroad.”

-Mark Twain (from Innocents Abroad)
