Walking takes longer… than any other known form of locomotion except crawling. Thus it stretches time and prolongs life. Life is already too short to waste on speed. – Edward Abbey, “Walking”

He who limps is still walking. – Stanislaw J. Lec

We ought to take outdoor walks, to refresh and raise our spirits by deep breathing in the open air. – Lucius Annaeus Seneca, “On Tranquillity of Mind”

Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
