On Travel

Since some of our members are touring with a school group in Greece this week, I offer some thoughts on travelling:

Some tips on packing: When preparing to travel, lay out all of your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.

-- Susan Heller

If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.

-- Cesare Pavese

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.

-- St. Augustine

I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.

-- Mark Twain

Life is a journey, not a guided tour.

-- Unknown

Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

-- Mark Twain

[Nor is that bad advice for Lenten disciples -- as we seek our Master in that same spirit.]
