I loved all the quotes you picked to share. Many of them are thought provoking and get your readers to ponder their lives and possibly re-prioritize some things if they really want to make time for some “ass-travel” opportunities, instead of “ass-sitting”…aka couch potato! 🙂
Dang Travelers
LOL so true Chris! Sometimes we need reminders that life is short and we need to get out of our comfort zone. If the quotes don’t inspire people to get out and explore, the pictures sure will!

Very nice, I like all of them! But probably the most I like this one: The earth has music for those who listens. I heard this music so many times already! 🙂
Dang Travelers
Thanks Julius! We like that one too. The waterfall picture is from our time at the Smoky Mountain National Park.
Julius from Traveltipy
I love waterfalls! I can relax at the waterfalls for hours just watching the water. 🙂

I love a good quote 🙂 I think one of my favorites is “The mountains are calling and I must go.” by John Muir…unfortunately its too cold for me to hike them right now 😉
These would make lovely scrapbooking inserts for a travel book
Dang Travelers
Ooh that’s definitely a great quote Jocelyn! What a good idea for scrapbooking inserts… never would have came up with that.
Anita Hendrieka
I love the first quote. Sometimes you just have to go for it and book that ticket as it wil never be the right time!
Dang Travelers
So true! You never know what can happen. Now is definitely the right time.
Alice Teacake
I totally agree with the courage quote. Sometimes we just need to get past that fear and freaking go for it. Courage can open up a whole lot of doors for you!
Dang Travelers
So true. Especially for solo travelers like yourself!
Cristina Luisa
I love these quotes, and the photos are beautiful, too. Henry David Thoreau has been one of my favorite authors since high school; his works are filled with such inspiration. Michael LeBoef’s quote is so poignant for many people- “Waste your money and you ‘re only out of money, but waste your time and you’ve lost part of your life.” I needed to read that quote. Thank you for sharing these!
Dang Travelers
Thanks Cristina. An awesome quote with a gorgeous picture goes a long way! I too am a fan of Thoreau.

Love the quotes! I’m a big quote person myself.
Ken Poirot
Great article and graphics. Thank you for quoting me 🙂 I shared this article on all my social networks.
Dang Travelers
Wow. Thank you so much! We really appreciate it. And you are very welcome for quoting you. We like the way you roll Ken!

Love the quotes! My absolute faves are “Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.” by Napoleon Hill and “The journey of a thousand miles begin with a single step” by Lao Tzu.
Another one I really love is “If you can dream it, you can do it” by Walt Disney.
Cheers and happy travels,
