Life is but a journey

My reflections lately seem to come back to one thing and that is we are all on a journey when we live our lives. At times we are on the journey together and at times we are on the journey by ourselves. It is the journey that brings people together and forms either general acquaintances or friendships. It is while we are on the journey that forms and tests our character.

Here are some quotes that reflect my thoughts on what “Journey” means to me at this point in my life.

“Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will-whatever we may think.” Lawrence Durrell

“The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.” Don Williams Jr.

“A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles” Tim Cahill

“Journeys end in lovers' meeting; every wise man's son doth know.” William Shakespeare

“Success is not a place at which one arrives but rather the spirit with which one undertakes and continues the journey.” Alex Noble

“To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping.” Chinese Proverb
