- ianmack, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1Great collection. Check out the links to the origins of each quote for some quality reading.
- greytfriend, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1I think this is one of the reasons I read so much. I helps open my mind to places and people that I just can't get to physically.

I think if you live by this quote, you can be a traveler in this world every day no matter how far or close to home you are. - davidmiller72, on 06/28/2008, -0/+1"Let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where I choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to talk, think and act for myself -- and I will obey every law or submit to the penalty." --Chief Joseph, in a speech in Washington D.C., 1879.
Notice that travel was the first thing that Chief Joseph used to define the meaning of free, a word that's been bastardized, hijacked.
It's worth noting that certain tribes of the Plains had--according to early linguists / translators--no word for free. There was nothing to be freed from. - jshare, on 06/29/2008, -0/+1Traveling rocks. Terrific for the mind as well. Just don't do it via Amtrak

This has been a favourite of mine since 'Travels with Charley'! Glad to see it on this great list. - apparel104, on 06/28/2008, -1/+1Hi !!
