Walking Quotes

whisper to a man when he goes for a
walk. ~ Raymond Inmon
A
vigorous
five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy
adult
than all the medicine and psychology in the world. ~Paul Dudley
White
Me
thinks
that the moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow. ~

is walking distance if you have the time. ~ Steven Wright

have two
doctors, my left leg and my right. ~ G.M. Trevelyan
My
father
considered a walk among the mountains as the equivalent of churchgoing.

the

a

city
should be too large for a man to walk out of in a morning. ~ Cyril
Connolly
Climb
the
mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's

flows into trees. The winds will blow
their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares
will
drop off like autumn leaves. ~ John Muir
Thoughts
come clearly while one walks. ~Thomas Mann
In

I want to
take, all the books I want to read and all the friends I want to see. ~
John
Burroughs
The
civilized man has built a coach, but has lost the use of his feet. ~
Ralph Waldo
Emerson, "Self-Reliance,"
Walking
isn't a lost art - one must, by some means, get to the garage.
~Evan Esar
There
is
this to be said for walking: It's the one mode of human
locomotion by
which a man proceeds on his own two feet, upright, erect, as a man
should be,
not squatting on his rear haunches like a frog. ~Edward Abbey
In
the
morning a man walks with his whole body; in the evening, only with his
legs. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
The
best
remedy for a short temper is a long walk. ~Jacqueline Schiff
The
body's
habituation to walking as normal stems from the good old days. It was
the
bourgeois form of locomotion: physical demythologization, free of the
spell of
hieratic pacing, roofless wandering, breathless flight. Human
dignity
insisted on the right to walk, a rhythm not extorted from the body by
command
or terror. The walk, the stroll, were private ways of passing
time, the
heritage of the feudal promenade in the nineteenth century.
~Theodor W.
Adorno
An
early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day. ~Henry David
Thoreau
There
is
nothing like walking to get the feel of a country. A fine
landscape is
like a piece of music; it must be taken at the right tempo. Even
a
bicycle goes too fast. ~Paul Scott Mowrer, The House of Europe
I
represent
what is left of a vanishing race, and that is the pedestrian.... That I
am
still able to be here, I owe to a keen eye and a nimble pair of legs. But I know they'll get me someday. ~Will
Rogers
If
you want
to forget all your other troubles, wear too tight shoes. ~The
Houghton
Line, November 1965
The
true
charm of pedestrianism does not lie in the walking, or in the scenery,
but in
the talking. The walking is good to time the movement of the
tongue by,
and to keep the blood and the brain stirred up and active; the scenery
and the
woodsy smells are good to bear in upon a man an unconscious and
unobtrusive
charm and solace to eye and soul and sense; but the supreme pleasure
comes from
the talk. ~Mark Twain
Don't
let
people drive you crazy when you know it's in walking distance.
~Author
Unknown
"It's not the mountain that wears you down, it's the pebble in your shoe."
I
have two doctors, my left leg and my right. - G.
