The world is not in your books and maps; it’s out there.

There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.

The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa — for he has so much to look forward to.

Better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.

Then I realized that to be more alive, I had to be less afraid. So I did it. I lost my fear and gained my whole life.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And venture belongs to the adventurous.

Oh, the places you’ll go.

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.

Jobs fill your pockets, but adventures fill your soul.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”
