A Trio of Travel Quotes

Whilst aboard the Artemis, I was treated to a new quotation every night - each one on a little card placed on my pillow along with a square of chocolate by my cabin steward.

My astute wife quickly realised she could trade her evening's quotation for my square of chocolate; something I was more than happy to acquiesce to, as I delight in quotations, and many of these travel ones were new to me. So, whilst Mrs T nibbled the calories, I amassed a pocketful of erudition.

The following three quotations are some of my favourites from this particular harvest:

"Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind."
Seneca (4BC - 65AD)

"Don't tell me how educated you are; tell me how much you travelled."
Muhammed

"The world is but a canvas to the imagination."
Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862), Author.

One aspect that fascinates me is that they span some two thousand years, and yet the sentiment remains identifiable and understandable, even within the modern world.
