Sayings, Writing Gems


=======================

The eye can see and
The heart can love,
What the word cannot describe.

=======================

If I type a few paragraphs and no one reads them, have I really written anything?

=======================

At some places we keep taking pictures because it is so beautiful.
At other places, because it is so terrible

=======================

What a fascinating place for these people to live!
What a fascinating place for us to visit!

=======================

When you travel have your purpose, budget, and overall schedule well in mind.

=======================

Travel-lovers feel the urge to explore, to know what is over the horizon, or just around the next corner.

=======================

If you cut a tree, plant a tree. If you dig a hole, fill a hole.

=======================

The Main Stream Media consists of Scribblers and Babblers.

=======================

It is just as important to know what you are against, as it is to know what you are for.

=======================

What makes you think doing something worthless, is better than doing nothing at all?

=======================

If you were not busy, you would not be worth talking to.

=======================

THE RIGHTS, THE DUTIES, AND THE PRIVILEGES PROTECTED AND GUARANTEED BY THIS SOCIETY,

DO NOT (AND MUST NEVER) INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO DESTROY THIS SOCIETY!

=======================

If it wasn't for all the rain, this countryside wouldn't look nearly so nice as it will, if we ever get here when it isn't raining.

=======================

A picture is worth a thousand words. A visit is worth a thousand pictures. The video is priceless.

=======================

Your spirit of adventure will be modified by your gumption for walking.

=======================

You must demand some reasonable association between effort and excitement.

=======================

Name and picture catching. The everlasting joys of travel, an added reward for years of exploration.

=======================

Breathes there a man with soul so dead … That he is not gratified by another's appreciation of his home, his city, and his country.

=======================

Our European trips proved, “It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there,” is not a cliché, it's the truth.

=======================

Curiosity as to how people live and work, is just as intelligent as the curiosity that leads to the study of the contents of an art museum.

=======================

Most Countries have “Traffic Laws and Regulations.”
Italy has “Traffic Hints and Suggestions.”

=======================

Many major tourists sights are so crowded, no one goes there any more.
