Quote 36 – Sir Richard Francis Burton

Posted by Mick under: Quotes .

“Of the gladest moments in human life, methinks is the departure upon a distant journey to unknown lands. Shaking off with one mighty effort the fetters of habit, the leaden weight of Routine, the cloak of many Cares and the Slavery of Home, man feels once more happy. The blood flows with the fast circulation of childhood….afresh dawns the morn of life…”
Sir Richard Francis Burton – A British explorer from the 1800′s.
