Every frontier is doomed to produce an opposition beyond it. Nothing short of the universal can build the unfenced peace Picture Quote #1

This is one of the charms of the desert, that removing as it does nearly all the accessories of life, we see the thin thread of necessities on which our human existence is suspended Picture Quote #1

There can be no happiness if the things we believe in are different from the things we do Picture Quote #1

One is so apt to think of people’s affection as a fixed quantity, instead of a sort of moving so with the tide, always going out or coming in but still fundamentally there: and I believe this difficulty in making allowance for the tide is the reason for half the broken friendships Picture Quote #1

Good days are to be gathered like grapes, to be trodden and bottled into wine and kept for age to sip at ease beside the fire. If the traveler has vintaged well, he need trouble to wander no longer; the ruby moments glow in his glass at will Picture Quote #1

The greatest of mythologies divided its gods into creators, preservers and destroyers. Tidiness obviously belongs to the second category, which mitigates the terrific impact of the other two Picture Quote #1

This is a great moment, when you see, however distant, the goal of your wandering. The thing which has been living in your imagination suddenly become part of the tangible world. It matters not how many ranges, rivers or parching dusty ways may lie between you; it is yours now for ever Picture Quote #1

Manners are like zero in arithmetic. They may not be much in themselves, but they are capable of adding a great deal of value to everything else Picture Quote #1

One has to resign oneself to being a nuisance if one wants to get anything done Picture Quote #1

The art of learning fundamental common values is perhaps the greatest gain of travel to those who wish to live at ease among their fellows Picture Quote #1

The symbol is greater than visible substance... Unhappy the land that has no symbols, or that chooses their meaning without great care Picture Quote #1

I do like people who have not yet made up their minds about everything, who in fact are still receiving Picture Quote #1

You will, if you’re wise and know the art of travel, let yourself go on the stream of the unknown and accept whatever comes in the spirit in which the gods may offer it Picture Quote #1
