What travel quotes have inspired Don’t Stop Living to see all seven continents?
We all must get inspiration from somewhere and I for one love quotes, poems, lyrics and speeches. Things that people say that send out an inspirational message. Since I have never actually done a list of my favourite travel quotes before, I thought I’d get a few down, these come from anywhere and everywhere, just a current Top 20 that I thought of (I’ve probably left a few good top ones out, too):
1. “It’s a mad world.” – Gary Jules Featuring Michael Andrews.
2. “It’s a world of laughter, a world of tears,
It’s a world of hopes, its a world of fears,
There’s so much that we share that its time we’re aware,
It’s a small world after all.” – Disney (Richard and Robert Sherman)
3. “Where do you go, buttoned in your favourite coat, stepping out to a different world, and you might be home late?” – Ocean Colour Scene
