“Travel within thyself!
The Stone Philosophers with wisest arts Have vainly sought,
cannot be found By travelling in foreign parts.”

“Through travel I first became aware of the outside world; it was through travel that I found my own introspective way into becoming a part of it.”

“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.”

“Students of administration have long sought a single principle of effective departmentalization just as alchemists sought the philosophers' stone. But they have sought in vain. There is apparently no one most effective system of departmentalism.”

“The actions that move the world have been prompted and inspired by dreams and visions. The search for the philosopher's stone laid the foundations of modern chemistry; modern travel and geography owe their chief advances to the search for the fabled realm of Cathay.”

“The World doth not imprison thee.
Thou art thyself the World, and there, Within thyself,
thou hold'st thyself Thy self-imprisoned Prisoner.”

“Yet for this we travelled
With hope, and not alone,
In the country of ourselves,
In a country of bright stone.”

“travel [is] flight and pursuit in equal parts.”

“You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself.”

“The 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.”
