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.

If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.

The only thing that relaxes me is archery. That’s why I have to have apartments with gardens.

His was a great sin who first invented consciousness. Let us lose it for a few hours.

Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.

I’ve been away since I was pretty much eight, traveling to the car tracks, and then going to Europe and traveling more.

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.

I have never taken any exercise, except sleeping and resting, and I never intend to take any.

I’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.

I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It’s more fun to come to Paris.

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.

I like to take it easy.

Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

Have fun in your command. Don’t always run at a breakneck pace. Take leave when you’ve earned it, spend time with your families.

A hundred struggle and drown in the breakers. One discovers the new world. But rather, ten times rather, die in the surf, heralding the way to that new world, than stand idly on the shore.

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’m a wandering gypsy.

It’s a brilliant surface in that sunlight. The horizon seems quite close to you because the curvature is so much more pronounced than here on earth. It’s an interesting place to be. I recommend it.

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

We travel often to Asia, Africa, Europe, where they were born.

I remember coming to New York in 1974 to do a play here called ‚Equis.‘ And I remember the first morning getting up and walking around the streets, and I thought, ‚I’m home.‘ I felt really at peace here.

Being on tour is like being in limbo. It’s like going from nowhere to nowhere.

I’ll bring my grits when I travel, because I get so hungry on the road.

Life is an adventure, it’s not a package tour.

Voyagers discover that the world can never be larger than the person that is in the world; but it is impossible to foresee this, it is impossible to be warned.

I love trying new things.

I’ve never known any trouble than an hour’s reading didn’t assuage.

One of the triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement is that when you travel through the South today, you do not feel overwhelmed by a residue of grievance and hate.

I am confident I will set foot again in Tibet in my lifetime.

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.

It’s very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxing. Not only does it help prevent the onset of many illnesses that develop through chronic tension and worrying; it allows us to clear our minds, focus, and find creative solutions to problems.

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

I’ve searched all the parks in all the cities and found no statues of committees.

When I retire I’m going to spend my evenings by the fireplace going through those boxes. There are things in there that ought to be burned.

Turn resolutely to work, to recreation, or in any case to physical exercise till you are so tired you can’t help going to sleep, and when you wake up you won’t want to worry.

We are often raised as dependents then given over to teachers. It’s experience and exploration that can transform us and lead to mastery.

I’ve grown accustomed to hotels and drastic climate change.

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.

Here ends my forever memorable first High Sierra excursion. I have crossed the Range of Light, surely the brightest and best of all the Lord has built. And, rejoicing in its glory, I gladly, gratefully, hopefully pray I may see it again.

I’ve been to those places where it’s ‚poor, pitiful me.‘

Listen; there’s a hell of a good universe next door: let’s go.

I’ve been everywhere in the world, seen everything, had everything a man can have.

There have been times that I’ve wept as I’ve gone from city to city and I’ve seen how far people have wandered from God.

I am alone a lot, which is good. I need that time to just be alone after a long day, just decompress. So, I go to either my house or the hotel, or my apartment, or whatever – wherever I am, I go home and I watch TV and I sit there, with my cat, and I just watch TV or go online, check my emails.

If I’m in Rome for only 48 hours, I would consider it a sin against God to not eat cacio e pepe, the most uniquely Roman of pastas, in some crummy little joint where Romans eat. I’d much rather do that than go to the Vatican. That’s Rome to me.

Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought.

Children astound me with their inquisitive minds. The world is wide and mysterious to them, and as they piece together the puzzle of life, they ask ‚Why?‘ ceaselessly.
