Journey Quotes


"You leave home, I have learned, counting the trip day by day. If you ever get to return, you count the trip miracle by miracle."



"We don't need a destination or a way of navigating, because we'll go wherever it takes us."



"A man of my acquaintance once wrote a poem called "The Road Less Traveled", describing a journey he took through the woods along a path most travelers never used. The poet found that the road less traveled was peaceful but quite lonely, and he was probably a bit nervous as he went along, because if anything happened on the road less traveled, the other travelers would be on the road more frequently traveled and so couldn't hear him as he cried for help. Sure enough, that poet is dead."


"A journey, I reflected, is of no merit unless it has tested you."


"It is not within my power to refuse the journey of life regardless of the nature of my fears or the depth of my selfishness, for the definitions of 'journey' and 'life' are indistinguishably synonymous.

"Now I must live with the consequences of the choice I made. And I will not call it the wrong choice. That would be foolish and pointless. That choice led me to everything that has happened since, including this very moment, and the choices I make today or tomorrow or next week will lead me to the next and next present moments in my life. It is all a journey, Miss Jewell. I have come to understand that that is what life is all about-a journey and the courage and energy always to take the next step and the next without judgement about what was right and what was wrong."


"Life's journey doesn't start on the highest mountain peak where a clear view of the trail ahead, obstacles and all, is laid out for us to observe before setting foot on the path. No. Life's journey begins on a low road, in a valley, or even down inside a pit where the trail beyond can only be seen in short stretches, and any obstacles are met as they come. This makes life trying, even scary at times. Have faith that God gave you this life, and hence it is worth seeing through to the end of the trail."



"Every man should care (be concerned) about these three things: Which station have I come from? Which station did I get off? Which station am I going to?"


"What is life but God's daring invitation to a remarkable journey? And what is human nature but a staunchly inbred tendency toward self-preservation? And because of the rigidly paradoxical nature of these things, the road of life is seldom trod beyond a few scant steps."


"Water is the most perfect traveller because when it travels it becomes the path itself!"


"Whoever you are, go out into the evening,leaving your room, of which you know every bit;your house is the last before the infinite,whoever you are."


"Life is a long boring drive on an empty road punctuated by special moments that make the journey worth taking."


"I travel, always arriving in the same place."


"Every new journey transforms the traveler."


"God has hewn out a hidden path more glorious, tantalizing and adventuresome than the path trod by most, and it is a path seen only through the eyes of our wounds, felt solely through the heart of our losses, and singularly traversed by those with a limp in their step."


"They were at the end of their journey, but as far as ever, it seemed, from the end of their quest."


"If you don't know where you are going, you can arrive at any destination."


"My path gets more beautiful when you walk it with me."



"When you feel least interested in following the Way which you have entered, this may be the time when it is most appropriate for you."


"If we are always arriving and departing, it is alsotrue that we are eternally anchored. One's destinationis never a place but rather a new way of looking at things."
