20 motivational quotes to make you want to set off on an adventure

Vintage Rides → Magazine → Travel Advice → 20 motivational quotes to make you want to set off on an adventure

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – H. Jackson Brown’s mother

“The happiest moment of a human life is the departure to an unknown land.” – Richard Burton “To travel is to grow. It’s a big adventure. It’s what leaves lasting impressions on the soul.” – Marc Thiercelin “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less travelled by, And that has made all the difference.” – Robert Frost

Travelling, for me, is not about arriving, it’s about leaving. It’s about the unexpected at the next stop. It is the constant desire to discover something new. It's tomorrow, eternally tomorrow.” – Roland Dorgelès

“It is not the destination where you end up but the mishaps and memories you create along the way.” – Penelope Riley Never be afraid of life, never be afraid of adventure, trust chance, luck, destiny. Go away, conquer other spaces, other hopes. And the rest will be given to you.” – Henry de Monfreid “Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don't be sorry.” – Jack Kerouac

“On the way, the best thing is to get lost. When you go astray, the projects make way for surprises and it is then, and only then, that the journey begins.” – Nicolas Bouvier

“The marvellous thing about great travels is that their enchantment begins long before departure. You open an atlas, you dream over a map. You repeat the glorious name of unknown cities.” – Joseph Kessel “There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.” – Beverly Sills “Hitting the road is like a dream, it’s life in its purest form. When we decided to set off, whether it’s for a matter of days, weeks or years, we’re “buying” ourselves a slice of existence.” – Sylvain Tesson

“The impulse to travel is one of the hopeful symptoms of life.” – Agnès Repplier

“If you don’t question yourself, if you don't have a real adventure, at the end of which, you’ll find yourself victorious or defeated, falling flat on your face, then it doesn’t make any sense.” – Louis Guilloux "The real voyage of discovery consists, not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." – Marcel Proust “All you’ve got to do is decide to go and the hardest part is over.” – Tony Wheeler

“To travel is to be unfaithful. Be it without remorse. Forget your friends with strangers.” – Paul Morand

“When nothing is expected, anything is possible.” – Antoine de Maximy “Never hesitate to go far away, beyond all seas, all frontiers, all countries, all beliefs.” – Amin Maalouf “Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.” – T.S. Eliot
