Traveling makes men wiser, but less happy.

With every step of the recent traveler our inheritance of the wonderful is diminished. Those beautiful pictured notes of the possible are redeemed at a ruinous discount in the hard coin of the actual.
      - James Russell Lowell

Me other cares in other climes engage,
  Cares that become my birth, and suit my age:
    In various knowledge to instruct my youth,
      And conquer prejudice, worst foe to truth,
        By foreign arts, domestic faults to mend,
          Enlarge my notions, and my views extend;
            The useful science of the world to know,
              Which books can never teach, nor pedants show.
      - Lord George Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lyttelton ("The Good Lord Lyttelton")

The useful science of the world to know, which books can never teach, nor pedants show.
      - Lord George Lyttelton, 1st Baron Lyttelton ("The Good Lord Lyttelton")

I travel all the irksome night,
  By ways to me unknown;
    I travel, like a bird of flight,
      Onward, and all alone.
      - James Montgomery

They, and they only, advantage themselves by travel, who, well fraught with the experience of what their own country affords, carry ever with them large and thriving talents.
      - Francis Osborne (Osborn)

Travel to learn character.
      - Julia Pardoe

Railway traveling is not traveling at all; it is merely being sent to a place, and very little different from becoming a parcel.
      - John Ruskin

A traveler without observation is a bird without wings.
      - Moslih Eddin (Muslih-un-Din) Saadi (Sadi)

Ay, now am I in Arden: the more fool I; when I was at home, I was in a better place; but travellers must be content.
      - William Shakespeare

Rather see the wonders of the world abroad, than, living dully sluggardized at home, wear out thy youth with shapeless idleness.
      - William Shakespeare

* * * * * the sundry contemplation of my travels, in which my often rumination wraps me in a most humorous sadness.
      - William Shakespeare

Travelers must be content.
      - William Shakespeare

Travelers never did lie, though fools at home condemn them.
      - William Shakespeare

He did request me to importune you,
  To let him spend his time no more at home,
    Which would be great impeachment to his age,
      In having known no travel in his youth.
      - William Shakespeare,
        Two Gentlemen of Verona (I,iii)

People travel to learn; most of them before they start should learn to travel.
      - Henry Wheeler Shaw (used pseudonyms Josh Billings and Uncle Esek)

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.
      - Robert Louis Stevenson

We've traveled too far, and our momentum has taken over; we move idly towards eternity, without possibility of reprieve or hope of explanation.
      - Tom Stoppard

I used to wonder how a man of birth and spirit could endure to be wholly insignificant and obscure in a foreign country, when he might live with lustre in his own.
