The first rule of an expedition is that everyone should stick together.

Settling into a new country is like getting used to a new pair of shoes. At first they pinch a little, but you like the way they look, so you carry on. The longer you have them, the more comfortable they become. Until one day without realizing it you reach a glorious plateau. Wearing those shoes is like wearing no shoes at all. The more scuffed they get, the more you love them and the more you can't imagine life without them.

A man who embarks on a journey must know when to end it.

Contemplation is a luxury, requiring time and alternatives.

There can be few situations more fearful than breaking down in darkness on the highway leading to Casablanca. I have rarely felt quite so vulnerable or alone.

To Succeed, you must reach for the stars, and let your imagination find its own path

There's nothing like a pack of mules to give one a sense of entourage.
