"Travel teaches toleration"
Benjamin
Disraeli
"Perhaps
travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry,
laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and
understand each other, we may even become friends."
Maya Angelou
"To
travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries."
Aldous Huxley
"All
travel has its advantages. If the passenger visits better countries, he may
learn to improve his own. And if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to
enjoy it."
Samuel Johnson
"When
overseas you learn more about your own country, than you do the place you're
visiting."
Clint Borgen
"The
more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who
should be friends."
Shirley
MacLaine
