The great Saint Augustine once said: The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
Now I may not be an avid reader of books, but I can certainly say that every time I travel, a new personal and adventurous chapter is written that I'll keep with me forever. And with the travel bug injecting its sweet venom on us again, I thought I'd document 15 cute travel quotes to satisfy our wanderlust this 2015!1.

4. "The worst thing about being a tourist is having other tourists recognise you as a tourist." - Russell Baker

12. "Travelling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station." - Lisa St. Aubin de Teran
13. "Travel is the name of a modern disease which became rampant in the mid-fifties and is still spreading. The disease - its scientific name is travelitis furiousus - is carried by a germ called prosperity." - George Mikes
14. "I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list." - Susan Sontag
15. "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the one you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
