Quotes To Spark Your Next Adventure

Adventure awaits at every corner, but sometimes we need just a bit of extra motivation to get the adventure started. What better place to look for that motivation than in books? Here are three great quotes to get your next wondrous adventure off the ground.

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by.”

-Robert Frost

From The Road Not Taken, first published in 1916 in Robert Frost’s collection of poems: Mountain Interval. Frost’s words are ones to live by, and speak to far more than a simple walk through the woods serving as an apt analogy for life and the choices one makes within.

-

“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.”

-H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Often erroneously attributed to Mark Twain, this inspiring sentiment actually comes from Brown’s 1991 book: P.S. I Love You: When Mom Wrote, She Always Saved the Best for Last. Actually, if we’re being totally accurate, the quote should be attributed to Brown’s mother…

-

“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.”

-Robert Louis Stevenson

From one of Stevenson’s first published works: Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes (1879). The value of travel for travel’s sake should never be overlooked.
