是旅途不是目的 is the English proverb, “It's the journey, not the destination,” translated into Chinese.

人生是一段旅程 is a proverb that means “Life is a Journey.”

If this matches your philosophy, this might be the perfect Chinese calligraphy for you.

不經旅途不成目的 is the English proverb, “The destination is nothing without the journey,” translated into Chinese.

可愛い子には旅をさせよ is a Japanese proverb that means “If you love your children, send them out on a journey into the world.”

This is kind of similar to the western phrase, “Spare the rod and spoil the child.”

More literally, this reads, “Cute child, a journey granted.”
That “granted” could also be understood as “should be initiated.”
