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

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

I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix.

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.

If you don’t trust the pilot, don’t go.

I’m not comparing myself with anyone, but I am very confident about my captaincy, as I have already led India and in the IPL also. I have confidence I can bring out each player’s ability fully and also give them a lot of confidence… I would like to stick to what I know best and what I have confidence in.

Just got back from a pleasure trip: I took my mother-in-law to the airport.

Until 1914 I loved to travel; I often went to Italy and once spent a few months in India. Since then I have almost entirely abandoned travelling, and I have not been outside of Switzerland for over ten years.

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

Big stuff and little: learning how to order breakfast in a country where I don’t speak the language and haven’t been before – that’s really satisfying to me. I like that.

The glamour of it all! New York! America!

Everyone carries his own inch rule of taste, and amuses himself by applying it, triumphantly, wherever he travels.

I love driving my car on any highway.

Work aside, we come to New York for the possibility of interaction and inspiration.

I have enjoyed great satisfaction from my climb of Everest and my trips to the poles. But there’s no doubt that my most worthwhile things have been the building of schools and medical clinics.

I dislike feeling at home when I am abroad.

When I was 18, I went to the Soviet Union. I kept hearing that America was planning to bomb them – lots of bombs were going to come down on these people. I went there not knowing anything, except that I thought the whole thing was stupid and that I wanted to see who these people were that we were going to bomb.

I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.

Newspaper readership is still growing in India.

I read a lot when I’m travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.

I would drive to gigs in my tiny little Fiat. I would shoot up and down the M1 to play at various places.

I hope to play until I’m, like, 38 or something, and that’s a lot of years in the game and a lot of travel and a lot of sacrifice on my family’s part.

We can’t equate democracy with Christianity because the largest democracy on earth is India, which is primarily Hindu. The third largest democracy is Indonesia, which is Islamic. Democracy and freedom are not dependent on Christian beliefs.

No place is better than Akron.

Of all the mountain ranges I have climbed, I like the Sierra Nevada the best.

I really miss having a routine because now I’ve been on the road constantly for several months. I like routines, so it would be nice to get those routines back.

I shouldn’t be near Vegas and have money in my pocket.

Rebellion is what you make of it. When you’ve been on a tour bus for two months straight, and then you get in your car and drive wherever you want, that can feel rebellious.

We will be remembered only if we give to our younger generation a prosperous and safe India, resulting out of economic prosperity coupled with civilizational heritage.

I spent more time on dark ships in danger zones than any other woman in the world.

If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.

In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.

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

I found that part of it towards San Salvador extending from north to south five leagues, and the other side which we coasted along, ran from east to west more than ten leagues.

I remember as a little girl going down to the beet fields in the Dakotas and in Nebraska and Wyoming as migrant workers when I was very, very small, like, I was, like, 5 years old, I believe. And I remember going out there, you know, traveling to these states and living in these little tarpaper shacks that they had in Wyoming.

We’re introducing separate rooms with double beds in all of our planes so people can actually go with their partner and have a proper night’s sleep.

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

I want to give people a taste of the Caribbean, and show them the fun side of me.

A queer fellow and a jolly fellow is the grasshopper. Up the mountains he comes on excursions, how high I don’t know, but at least as far and high as Yosemite tourists.

I went by myself to Hollywood, I spoke no English, every day I had to go to school.

Africa is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

Even after Independence, we have had to face the poison of casteism and communalism. How long these evils will continue? Whom does it benefit?

Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.

When good Americans die they go to Paris.

With all the travel we’re doing to cold-weather cities, your mind definitely starts to wander. It gets you away from the game. Even when you arrive in a city, you’re tempted to just sit in your hotel and rest. Sometimes it’s nice to just get out and walk around, to see what’s there.

India is a democracy; it is in our DNA.

Switzerland is a small, steep country, much more up and down than sideways, and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture.

Today, India consumes about 682 watts per capita, far lesser than developed nations. As India develops, it will definitely require a lot more energy.

India is a geographical term. It is no more a united nation than the Equator.

India has to be transformed into a developed nation, a prosperous nation and a healthy nation, with a value system.

I believe that a government has only one religion – India first. A government has only one holy book – our Constitution. A government has only one kind of devotion – towards nation.

By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show.

In India, people are really glued to the Premier League and La Liga.

Anywhere I go, there is always an incredible crowd that follows me. In Rome, as I land at the airport, even the men kiss me. I love Rome.

The progress of India is the destiny of one-sixth of humanity. And it will also mean a world more confident of its prosperity and more secure about its future.

When I arrived in Laos and found young Americans living there, out of free choice, I was surprised. After only a week, I began to have a sense of the appeal of the country and its people – along with despair about its future.

When all the routines and details and the human bores get on our nerves, we just yearn to go away from here to somewhere else. To go fishing is a sound, a valid, and an accepted reason for an escape. It requires no explanation.

If you want to go somewhere, it is best to find someone who has already been there.

In my youth, I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.

I would like to go back to Wales. I’m obsessed with my childhood and at least three times a week dream I am back there.

India can live without nuclear weapons. That’s our dream, and it should be the dream of the U.S. also.
