The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking

new landscapes but in having new eyes.

Marcel Proust

The great difference between voyages rests not with the ships,

but with the people you meet on them.

Amelia E. Barr

Life is a voyage.

Victor Hugo

It's not the going out of port, but the coming in

that determines the success of a voyage.

Henry Ward Beecher

Voyage upon life's sea.  To your own self be true. 

And, whatever your lot may be...paddle your own canoe.

Sarah Bolton

Make voyages. 

Attempt them...there is nothing else.

Tennessee Williams
