These are the 10 best quotes that will make you hit the road:
“I take to the open road, healthy, free, the world before me.”– Walt Whitman

“Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey.” – Babs Hoffman
“Road trips are the equivalent of human wings. Ask me to go on one, anywhere. We’ll stop in every small town and learn the history and stories, feel the ground and capture the spirit. Then we’ll turn it into our own story that will live inside our history to carry with us, always. Because stories are more important than things.”– Victoria Erickson
“Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.” – Jack Kerouac
“Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by.” – Robert Frost

“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson
