Leif Ericson traveled to Iceland because, he wanted to go home and say hi.
people say that he captured a polar bear in Greenland and tamed it
Leif Eriksson discovered greenland. ----------------------- Actually it was Leif's dad who discovered Greenland. Leif discovered North America, though really he was following a course set by an Icelander. Leif did create a settlement in North America so many say he discovered it. After all the first guy felt it was too risky to go ashore, so he was just the first recorded European to see North America, not really the same as landing and "discovering". He also discovered a stranded ship and rescued its crew of 14 people.
love ONE DIRECTION!
You say to your soldier, 'Do this' and he does it. But I am obliged to say to the American, 'This is why you ought to do this' and then he does it.

Leif was Eriks son, hence Leif Erickson. Erik discovered a pretty big island, Greenland and Leif discovered a pretty big continent, North America. I would say he compares favorably.

I'd have to say that his most famous quote, which he was remembered for was "A complete Though Bloody Victory".
Alot of people say it was Christopher Columbus but the true answer is the Vikings. If you are looking for one specific person the leader of the Vikings was Leif Ericson, son of Eric the Red.

This is his most famous quote, "I didnt think, I experimented!"

Voltaire's famous quote from the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen is: "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
