East, West, South or North makes little difference. No matter what your destination, just be sure to make every journey, a journey within. If you travel within, you’ll travel the whole wide world and beyond.

It does not matter to know how far you have been away from your homeland; because you cannot deny that you left your heart on this land since you left it لا يهم أن تعرف كم كنت بعيدًا عن وطنك. لأنك لا تستطع أن تنكر أنك تركت قلبك على هذه الأرض منذ أن تركتها.
