Quotes
"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you...
While cares will drop off like autumn leaves."
-- John Muir
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
-- Mark Twain, from "The Innocents Abroad"
"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
"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.
Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."
-- Mark Twain
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
-- Chinese Proverb
