Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World.
Christopher ColumbusI think Himalayan climbers tend to mature fairly late. I think most of the successful Himalayan climbers have ranged from 28 to just over 40, really.
Edmund HillaryAnything for the quick life, as the man said when he took the situation at the lighthouse.
Charles DickensI think I mainly climb mountains because I get a great deal of enjoyment out of it. I never attempt to analyze these things too thoroughly, but I think that all mountaineers do get a great deal of satisfaction out of overcoming some challenge which they think is very difficult for them, or which perhaps may be a little dangerous.
Edmund HillaryI don’t regard myself as a cracking good climber. I’m just strong in the back. I have a lot of enthusiasm, and I’m good on ice.
Edmund HillaryOn the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.
Friedrich NietzscheI think we understand that for the Court to work well, we have to not only respect but genuinely like each other.
Ruth Bader GinsburgOn life’s vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale.
Alexander PopeI had a project for my life which involved 10 years of wandering, then some years of medical studies and, if any time was left, the great adventure of physics.
Che GuevaraLive dangerously and you live right.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheIt will be a killer, and a chiller, and a thriller, when I get the gorilla in Manila.
Muhammad AliThe fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.
Vincent Van GoghTourism is a very big economic benefit to the Sherpa people, and also, they have very strong ties to their own social attitudes and their own religion, so fortunately, they’re not too influenced by many of our Western attitudes.
Edmund HillaryThere is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.
Ernest HemingwayTo be able to travel the world, especially to places I never thought I’d be… it’s really, you know, still fascinating for me.
Beyonce KnowlesI think the really good mountaineer is the man with the technical ability of the professional and with the enthusiasm and freshness of approach of the amateur.
Edmund HillaryI’m not the sort of person who gives up on things. The first time we crossed the Atlantic in the balloon, it crashed, and we went on and did the Pacific. First time we crossed the Atlantic in a boat, it sank, and we went on and got the record. So, generally speaking, we will pick ourselves up, brush ourselves down, and carry on.
Richard BransonEver since the morning of May 29, 1953, when Tenzing Norgay and I became the first climbers to step onto the summit of Mount Everest, I’ve been called a great adventurer.
Edmund HillaryIf I see a mountain, I just pick up and hike it.
AuroraSometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.
Jerry SeinfeldClimb the mountains and get their good tidings.
John MuirStuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
Ray BradburyMan can climb to the highest summits, but he cannot dwell there long.
George Bernard ShawI’m not a parenting expert. In fact, I’m not sure that I even believe in the idea of ‚parenting experts.‘ I’m an engaged, imperfect parent and a passionate researcher. I’m an experienced mapmaker and a stumbling traveler. Like many of you, parenting is by far my boldest and most daring adventure.
Brene BrownI still make sure to go, at least once every year, to a country where things cannot be taken for granted, and where there is either too much law and order or too little.
Christopher HitchensTravel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.
Mark TwainI’m someone who likes plowing new ground, then walking away from it. I get bored easily. For me, the big thrill comes with the discovering.
Abraham MaslowNothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.
Winston ChurchillGolf without bunkers and hazards would be tame and monotonous. So would life.
B. C. ForbesI 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.
Richard BransonI have often been downcast but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary, I treat all the privations as amusing.
Anne FrankThe traveller has reached the end of the journey!
Edmund BurkeAn adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered.
Gilbert K. ChestertonPeople will visit Mars, they will settle mars, and we should because it’s cool.
Jeff BezosI should like to save the Shire, if I could – though there have been times when I thought the inhabitants too stupid and dull for words, and have felt that an earthquake or an invasion of dragons might be good for them.
J. R. R. TolkienI’ve been here before and will come again, but I’m not going this trip through.
Bob MarleyA good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.
Lao TzuTomorrow morning before we depart, I intend to land and see what can be found in the neighborhood.
Christopher ColumbusI like to think of Everest as a great mountaineering challenge, and when you’ve got people just streaming up the mountain – well, many of them are just climbing it to get their name in the paper, really.
Edmund HillaryHong 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.
Anthony BourdainWhat I enjoy most is doing something I’ve never done before.
Karl LagerfeldThe whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.
Gilbert K. ChestertonThere are two things that are more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall which is leaning toward you and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you.
Winston ChurchillI am not solicitous to examine particularly everything here, which indeed could not be done in fifty years, because my desire is to make all possible discoveries, and return to your Highnesses, if it please our Lord, in April.
Christopher ColumbusI used to watch MotoGP quite a bit, I liked MotoGP. I had a motorbike before I had a go-kart and before I had a motorbike I had a quad bike but I was too dangerous, and before I did quad biking I did horse riding, so it’s been a long journey.
Lando NorrisMountains are the beginning and the end of all natural scenery.
John RuskinWhen a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.
Samuel JohnsonAt Facebook, we build tools to help people connect with the people they want and share what they want, and by doing this we are extending people’s capacity to build and maintain relationships.
Mark ZuckerbergI’ve been everywhere in the world, seen everything, had everything a man can have.
Muhammad AliI think my first thought on reaching the summit- of course, I was very, very pleased to be there, naturally – but my first thought was one of a little bit of surprise. I was a little bit surprised that here I was, Ed Hillary, on top of Mt. Everest. After all, this is the ambition of most mountaineers.
Edmund HillaryI don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.
David BowieBuy the ticket, take the ride.
Hunter S. ThompsonI enjoyed climbing with other people, good friends, but I did quite a lot of solo climbing, too.
Edmund HillaryI guess I wanted to leave America for awhile. It wasn’t that I wanted to become an expatriate, or just never come back, I needed some breathing room. I’d already been translating French poetry, I’d been to Paris once before and liked it very much, and so I just went.
Paul AusterLet me recommend the best medicine in the world: a long journey, at a mild season, through a pleasant country, in easy stages.
James MadisonMany people have been getting too casual about climbing Everest. I forecast a disaster many times.
Edmund HillaryIf you’re embarking around the world in a hot-air balloon, don’t forget the toilet paper.
Richard BransonMy favorite mode of transport is hot-air ballooning. It’s so graceful to be blown by the wind, to go where the wind takes you.
Richard BransonPerhaps one day I will go into space.
Stephen HawkingI love to travel, but hate to arrive.
Albert Einstein
