Not all those who wander are lost (J.R.R. Tolkien)

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."--Anonymous

"A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for."

"...Two roads diverged in a wood, and I

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference."--Robert Frost

"Beyond the East the sunrise, beyond the West the sea. And the East and West the wander-thirst that will not let me be."

--Wander-thirst, Gerald Gould

"...Where there are many, there is strength. Where there is one, there is adventure..."

--FB, Bangor Maine Police Department

"A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving."

--Lao Tzu
