We crossed the Himalayas in less than two minutes, and then you realise, 'Oh My God, within an hour and a half, we have gone around the whole planet.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
So you've decided to travel around the world. This is an excellent thing to do. It's a precious place, this planet. We should see it.
When you look out the window of a spaceship, you see entire countries, vast swaths of continents. One turn of the head covers what once took thousands of years to traverse at ground level.
The farthest place on earth is the hour that is just over. Make the best use of the hour that has just begun!
I've traveled around the world.
Planet Earth is estimated to have a lifetime of nine billion years. And we're right smack in the middle of our lifetime. We've been in the universe for 4.5 billion years. So, that should mean something. We should sort of take a look at where we came from and where we are going.
God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road.
Almost a quarter of our planet is a single mountain range and we didn't enter it until after Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin went to the moon. So we went to the moon, played golf up there, before we went to the largest feature on our own planet.
Travel in all the four quarters of the earth, yet you will find nothing anywhere. Whatever there is, is only here.
Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!
We pass through this world but once.
