I've been getting a lot of words of inspiration (and humor) from friends and travel sites. I'm going to try to collect them here.
Live life like you were dying!
Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover. - Mark Twain
The tragedy of life is not death; rather, it is what we allow to die within us while we live. -Norman Cousins
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. -Ambrose Redmoon
If someone does not smile at you, be generous and offer your own smile. Nobody needs more a smile than the one that cannot smile to others. -The Dali Lama
The time to enjoy a European trip is about three weeks after unpacking. -George Ade
