| |  | | | | | | | | | | | The great social adventure of America is no longer the conquest of the wilderness but the absorption of fifty different peoples | | Walter Lippmann | | | The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes "sight-seeing." | | Daniel J. Boorstin | | | The true artist has the planet for his pedestal; the adventurer, after years of strife, has nothing broader than his shoes | | Ralph Waldo Emerson | | | To die will be an awfully big adventure. | | Aristotle | | | We should come home from adventures, and perils, and discoveries every day with new experience and character | | Henry David Thoreau | | | When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers. | | Ralph Waldo Emerson | | | When their adventures do not succeed, however, they run away; but it was the mark of a brave man to face things that are, and seem, terrible for a man, because it is noble to do so and disgraceful not to do so. | | Aristotle | | | When you're safe at home you wish you were having an adventure; when you're having an adventure you wish you were safe at home | | Thornton Wilder | | | Why, I'd like nothing better than to achieve some bold adventure, worthy of our trip. | | Aristophanes | | | | | | | |
