Steak and Shake in Indianapolis is definitely the first stop when we hit that city.

Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.

To other countries, I may go as a tourist, but to India, I come as a pilgrim.

People who eat with their mouth open should be punched in the face.

Eating words has never given me indigestion.

I’ve been here before and will come again, but I’m not going this trip through.

Hong Kong is a wonderful, mixed-up town where you’ve got great food and adventure. First and foremost, it’s a great place to experience China in a relatively accessible way.

I’m not afraid to look like a big, hairy, smelly, foreign devil in Tokyo, though I do my best not to, I really do.

I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do.

Think of our physical sustenance. It is truly heaven-sent. The necessities of air, food, and water all come to us as gifts from a loving Heavenly Father.

Tomorrow morning before we depart, I intend to land and see what can be found in the neighborhood.

I want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.

Travel teaches toleration.

I was born in Europe… and I’ve traveled all over the world. I can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America.

If you had to buy a new plane every time you flew somewhere, it would be incredibly expensive.

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.

There is nothing more miserable in the world than to arrive in paradise and look like your passport photo.

Go to foreign countries and you will get to know the good things one possesses at home.

On the way back from Mumbai to go meet with President Xi in China, I stopped in Singapore to meet with a guy named Lee Kuan Yew, who most foreign policy experts around the world say is the wisest man in the Orient.

Fame itself… doesn’t really afford you anything more than a good seat in a restaurant.

It’s not a real adventure when you have to pay for it.

Why can’t I just eat my waffle?

To eat is to appropriate by destruction.

The worst way of flying, I think, is standby. It never works. That’s why they call it standby. You end up standing there going, ‚Bye!‘

Paris ain’t much of a town.

Honestly, I just go to restaurants to eat so I won’t die. If there was a pill I could take in January and then I wouldn’t have to eat again for the rest of the year, I would take it. Of course, I wouldn’t want to sacrifice my chocolate cake and ice cream.

I once went on the most grueling radio tour. Living in hotel rooms, sleeping in the backs of rental cars as my mom drove to three different cities in one day.

I’ve been to Disneyland, like, 10 times. I’m getting really tired of Disneyland.

You learn a lot from traveling around.

In Paris, you’re as far as possible from the land of pleasant smiles.

The traveller has reached the end of the journey!

Some people wanted champagne and caviar when they should have had beer and hot dogs.

Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.

Sometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.

When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.

I hid myself in food.

The notion that before you even set out to go to Thailand, you say, ‚I’m not interested,‘ or you’re unwilling to try things that people take so personally and are so proud of and so generous with, I don’t understand that, and I think it’s rude. You’re at Grandma’s house, you eat what Grandma serves you.

My home is in Heaven. I’m just traveling through this world.

The glamour of it all! New York! America!

Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.

People want to go out and travel around and meet cool people. I could just go live in Vermont, but is that what I really want?

I think it’s a very good thing to leave your country and look at it from afar.

Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World.

Did you ever notice that the first piece of luggage on the carousel never belongs to anyone?

I doubt anyone else would have travelled as extensively as I have to meet the citizens of the country.

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!

No place is better than Akron.

Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. All other travel is mere dust and hotels and baggage and chatter.

I have been on the road and visited numerous places and met people from all over the globe. I can say that it looks nearly the same everywhere I have been: The climate crisis is ignored by people in charge, despite the science being crystal clear.

The fact is: It’s true what they say about the United States. It is a land of opportunity. It is too various to get bored with it.

I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.

When I go to a restaurant, yeah, I know that a line is probably going to form in front of the table, but didn’t I always wish for that? Yeah, I did.

I don’t think it’s a good advert for any restaurant, a fat chef, and secondly, who wants to eat a dessert when the chef’s a fat pig.

And I wound up in New Orleans for all those years and it was a great place, really a catalyst creatively.

Traveling around the world and preaching for over 70 years did not give much time for reflection.

I would say there are some foods that I strongly recommend that you do not eat. No. 1 on that list, I believe, is doughnuts. Comfort food. Zero value. Don’t eat them.

Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!

I have visited Japan several times and have always been shown wonderful hospitality.

I love travelling full stop – so while I’ve had some harrowing instances, I never look at them negatively. Memories are made when you’re travelling – not when you’re chained to your desk.

When one travels around the world, one notices to what an extraordinary degree human nature is the same, whether in India or America, in Europe or Australia.

Eating is so intimate. It’s very sensual. When you invite someone to sit at your table and you want to cook for them, you’re inviting a person into your life.
