Quotes About Journey

Alec drew a fine telescope from his shirt and handed it to Milo. "Carry this with you on your journey," he said softly, "for there is much worth noticing that often escapes the eye. Through it you can see everything from the tender moss in a sidewalk crack to the glow of the farthest star—and, most important of all, you can see things as they really are, not just as they seem to be. It's my gift to you.
~ Norton Juster
Ali što ?emo s Dvorcem u oblacima? Možda je on ipak važan. (...) Neka ga vjetar nosi, odgovorila je Smisla. I sretan mu put, dodala je Mjera, jer bez obzira koliko bio lijep, on je ipak samo zatvor.

You certainly must be very old to have reached the ground already. Oh no, said Milo seriously. In my family we all start on the ground and grow up, and we never know how far until we actually get there. What a silly system. The boy laughed.

Why, when you're fifteen things won't look at all the way they did when you were ten, and at twenty everything will change again.
~ Norton Juster
I know one thing for certain; it's much harder to tell whether you ARE lost than whether you WERE lost, for, on many occasions where you're going is exactly where you are. On the other hand, you often find that where you've been is not at all where you should have gone, and, since it's much more difficult to find your way back from someplace you've never left, I suggest you go there immediately and then decide.
~ Norton Juster

It ain't the roads we take; it's what's inside of us that makes us turn out the way we do.
~ O. Henry
True adventurers have never been plentiful. They who are set down in print as such have been mostly business men with newly invented methods. They have been out after the things they wanted - golden fleeces, holy grails, lady loves, treasures, crowns, and fame. The true adventurer goes forth aimless and uncalculating to meet and greet unknown fate. A fine example was the Prodigal Sob - when he started back home.
~ O. Henry
The most lonely thing in the world is a soul when it is preparing to go on its far journey.

Richter said, 'Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.' 
~ Og Mandino
The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner. Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult.
~ Og Mandino
Take great comfort in knowing that all great feats are accomplished one small step at a time
~ Og Mandino
