3. Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.
4. One’s destination is never a place, but always a new way of seeing things.
5. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
6. Don’t tell me how educated you are, tell me how much you travelled.
7. Travel, in the younger thought is a part of education, in the elder, a part of experience.
8. Travelling leaves you speechless, but then it turns you into a storyteller.
9. Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.
