Ivanka Trump

You and I come by road or rail, but economists travel on infrastructure.
Margaret Thatcher


The photograph reverses the purpose of travel, which until now had been to encounter the strange and unfamiliar.
Marshall McLuhan

Travel is one of the best anti-war weapons that there are. I’ve been to Iran, and if you’re there you see little kids, cops, old people, cemeteries. Once you see that, you can’t say, ‘Oh, Iran, let’s bomb them.’
Viggo Mortensen

The helicopter is a fine way to travel, but it induces a view of the world that only God and CEOs share on a regular basis.
Morley Safer

Airplane travel is nature’s way of making you look like your passport photo.
Al Gore

Kilometres are shorter than miles. Save gas, take your next trip in kilometres.
George Carlin

You define a good flight by negatives: You didn’t get hijacked, you didn’t crash, you didn’t throw up, you weren’t late, you weren’t nauseated by the food. So you are grateful.
Paul Theroux

When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.

Albert Einstein

Now, they say that New Zealand is beautiful and I do not know—because after 22 hours on a plane any landmass would be beautiful.
