Looking for adventure quotes to get motivated? The sun is shining and it finally looks like we just might conquer COVID. As we try to navigate this new life, we thought we’d look for a little inspiration to remind us just how much a good adventure can change our lives. When we first started traveling, we looked to travel quotes for inspiration, and now that we are in need of motivation after a year of sitting around, we have turned to adventure quotes to give us that nudge to get us out of our comfort zone.
Dave and I love going on adventures and we’ve always looked to quotes to motivate us to try something new. We’ve always collected travel quotes, but when going through our past tweets and pins on Pinterest, I noticed that most of our favorite travel quotes have often been quotes about adventure. So let’s take a look at the best adventure quotes to get you out of your rut.
Adventure Quotes to Get Out of Your Comfort Zone
This past year has definitely been a wild ride. With ups and downs and highs and lows, I think we can all agree that it has reminded us to cherish every moment and embrace life.

Favorite Quotes about Adventure
1. “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” ~ Hunter S. Thompson
2. “If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine. It’s lethal!” ~ Paulo Coelho
I think “If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine. It’s lethal” is the best adventure quote ever because it sums up life perfectly. It is always our go to quote when we have doubts or second guess what we are doing. Everyone talks about the dangers and risks that people take, but sitting at home is not the answer. If you don’t take a risk, you’ll never find out just how spectacular life can be.
3. “Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.The fearful are caught as often as the bold. Faith alone defends Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” ~ Helen Keller
Best Quotes About Adventure
5. “Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” ~ Robert Frost
The road less traveled by Robert Frost is probably one of the most famous adventure quotes. Everyone always reflects on taking the road less travelled and adventure lovers certainly do follow a different path.
6. “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” ~ Henry David Thoreau

I love this one. It reminds me of Braveheart where Mel Gibson’s William Wallace quoted, Every man dies, not every man truly lives. Who knew that words from a movie could turn into one of my favorite quotes. Adventure really does help us feel like we are truly living.
