No man can be a politician, except he be first a historian or a traveller; for except he can see what must be, or what may be, he is no politician.

James Harrington

I just love doing costume dramas; I am very lucky, as I see myself as a part-time time traveller.

Julia Sawalha

The traveller who aspires to reach the highlands of Tibet from Kashmir cannot be borne along in a carriage or hill-cart. For much of the way, he is limited to a foot pace, and if he has regard to his horse, he walks down all rugged and steep descents, which are many, and dismounts at most bridges.

Isabella Bird

I remember being in Vietnam in my early 20s, at the height of Lonely Planet‘s fame, and all the travellers would converge on internet cafes to send emails back home. It was a great place to exchange tips and recommendations, so you actually interacted with people.

Konnie Huq

There comes a moment on a journey when something sweet, something irresistible and charming as wine raised to thirsty lips, wells up in the traveller’s being.

Patrick MacGill

Rather than allowing Roma, Travellers and homeless people to be picked off, all those of us who fear the criminalisation of trespass should join forces with them, protecting their rights while we defend our own.

George Monbiot

I am a husband, son and father, a reader, a traveller, a fan, and also a cook.

Prakash Raj

The vast concourse of people who had assembled to witness the triumphant arrival of the successful travellers was of the lowest orders of mechanics and artisans, among whom great distress and a dangerous spirit of discontent with the government at that time prevailed.

Fanny Kemble

If we want to talk about Gross Natural Product, we have to talk about the King of Bhutan’s index of Gross National Happiness, too. Certainly I have found, as many travellers before me, that people in the poorest places are often the readiest to shower me, from an affluent country, with hospitality and kindness.

Pico Iyer

I see myself as a traveller.

Annie Lennox

Both business and leisure travellers are enjoying unprecedented levels of choice.

Gillian Tans

Travellers, like poets, are mostly an angry race: by falling into a daily fit of passion, I proved to the governor and his son, who were profuse in their attentions, that I was in earnest.

Richard Francis Burton

I’ve had hundreds of challenges at Traveller gatherings. They get a few beers in them, and they start thinking they are Tyson or Ali: throwing punches, swearing, and jumping around with their big fat bellies. I’d love to knock a few of them out.

Tyson Fury

I’m a bad traveller because I suffer from travel sickness.

Miranda Raison

I’m not a big traveller.

Patrick Chan

The fundamental rule of the business traveller must be nothing must stop you from getting there.

Richard Quest

My parents took me around the world when I was young, so I caught the bug. Every person is different when he travels, and every travellers’ story is uniquely his own.

Dhani Jones

The road to ruin is always in good repair, and the travellers pay the expense of it.

Josh Billings

The traveller has reached the end of the journey!

Edmund Burke

I’m essentially a traveller. I love to do many things.

Ashish Vidyarthi

I cannot assume emotions I do not feel, and must describe Jerusalem as I found it. Since being here, I have read the accounts of several travellers, and in many cases the devotional rhapsodies – the ecstacies of awe and reverence – in which they indulge, strike me as forced and affected.

Bayard Taylor

Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty – his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.

Aldous Huxley

I’m a keen traveller, and I’m a nerd with planes and airports.

Michael Landes

One thing you can guarantee with the Travellers, they’ve got a lot of heart.

David Haye

There’s a whole culture now where you meet travellers who don’t give you a scrap of paper with their address on it, they give their GPS coordinates. ‘I’ve seen this amazing place in Malawi you’ve got to go to! I’ll give you the coordinates!’

Charley Boorman

The Tigris is so fierce and rapid, and swallows its alluvial banks so greedily, that it is probable that some of the buildings described by the Hebrew traveller Benjamin of Tudela as existing in the twelfth century were long since carried away.

Isabella Bird

But are not the dreams of poets and the tales of travellers notoriously false?

H. P. Lovecraft

All travellers who had preceded me into the Barren Grounds had relied on the abundant game, and in consequence suffered dreadful hardships; in some cases even starved to death.

Ernest Thompson Seton

For the traveller, Kazakhstan offers more than just a staging post for the Silk Road, as is often perceived, and there is more than just steppe.

Tim Cope

Ned made a tremendous rattling, at which Bullet took fright, broke his bridle, and dashed off in grand style; and would have stopped all farther negotiations by going home in disgust, had not a traveller arrested him and brought him back; but Kit did not move.

Augustus Baldwin Longstreet

I see myself as a bit of a traveller. I am a workaholic.

Ricki-Lee Coulter

My wife is a fantastic traveller. She’s good fun and very optimistic. Even if things get bad, she‘s good at seeing the light side.

Tim Pigott-Smith

All roads indeed lead to Rome, but theirs also is a more mystical destination, some bourne of which no traveller knows the name, some city, they all seem to hint, even more eternal.

Richard Le Gallienne

I don’t much enjoy travelling, but I have always longed to take a slow train to Russia. I’d like to go alone – like writers do – with only a pencil and piece of paper as company. I’d take my sketchbook and note down all the wonderful details of other travellers.

Jane Birkin

A traveller on foot in this country seems to be considered as a sort of wild man or out-of-the way being, who is stared at, pitied, suspected, and shunned by everybody that meets him.

Karl Philipp Moritz

We are quite a way off before people travel around the world without cash in their pockets. The growth of plastic and electronic transactions have tended to impact traveller’s cheques rather than cash.

Lloyd Dorfman

I will become the greatest, because all travellers have to be able to adapt. That quality, adaptability, is essential to that way of life. Not many boxers have it but I can adapt before a fight to the opponent, during the fight if necessary.

Tyson Fury

I think some of the best modern writing comes now from travellers.

Michael Palin

All things on earth point home in old October; sailors to sea, travellers to walls and fences, hunters to field and hollow and the long voice of the hounds, the lover to the love he has forsaken.

Thomas Wolfe

The region west of the Mississippi continued in the popular mind to be a strange land for which the reports of explorers and travellers did the work of fiction, and Cooper‘s Prairie had few followers.

Carl Clinton Van Doren

Our bodies will be recycled one way or another, but what about our ideas and minds and characters? Primordial soup? The bourne from which no traveller returns? Interesting and exciting.

Joanna Lumley

I was never a big traveller – if I wasn’t working, I would have a job to get out of my own postcode.

Rob Cross

I went to the States with that amount of prejudice which seems the birthright of every English person, but I found that, under the knowledge of the Americans which can be attained by a traveller mixing in society in every grade, these prejudices gradually melted away.

Isabella Bird

There’s no way that I could have known about a 72-oz. steak challenge in Amarillo unless thousands upon thousands of locals and travellers alike had attempted it. I guess if ‘Man V Food‘ is me paying homage to these legends, then I suppose ‘Man V Food Nation’ is the legacy.

Adam Richman

I’ve become a less brave traveller since I became a dad, but in the past I was more foolhardy than brave.

David Mitchell
