Greetings Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for May 19th!  It’s a Turkish proverb.
“Books impart knowledge; only travel imparts wisdom.”
So what are your thoughts on today’s quote? Here’s mine.  “I always thought wisdom was a combination of knowledge and experience.  And, since travel is a learning experience, I think it does impart wisdom.  It also provides perspective.  A book provides the perspective of the author and those who are referenced in it. But travel provides firsthand perspective on the places you visit, perspective on where you come from because everyone you meet will tell you what they think of your hometown or country, and, since travel is full of challenging experiences, you also gain personal perspective.  All that perspective helps to build wisdom in every traveler.” 
Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in May.  I hope you’ll stop by each day to enjoy all the interesting and insightful things they have to say.  And leave a comment.  I’d like to hear your thoughts too.  Thanks, and see you tomorrow!
