"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain
"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." -- St. Augustine "Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful. Everything is simply happy. Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become rich and they will never have any bank balance. Look at the flowers - for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are." ~Osho "My father considered a walk among the mountains as the equivalent of churchgoing." ~Aldous Huxley "That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest." ~ Henry David Thoreau "After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, and so on--have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear--what remains? Nature remains." ~Walt Whitman ""There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." ~Albert Einstein "Truly it may be said that the outside of a mountain is good for the inside of a man." ~George Wherry, Alpine Notes and the Climbing Foot, 1896-* "My happiness depends on my elevation"~ unknown "I travel a lot; I hate having my life disrupted by routine." ~Caskie Stinnett |
"There is nothing
like walking to get the feel of a country. A fine landscape is like a piece of
music; it must be taken at the right tempo. Even a bicycle goes too fast." ~Paul
