Quotes About Walking

 Great inspirational quotes about walking that will encourage you to get your favourite hiking shoes on and go for a stroll down your favourite street, or into the woods in the park. Walking can help reduce stress, clear your mind, and provide just the perfect setting for a discussion or to solve a problem when walking along with a friend. As Friedrich Nietzsche said, "All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking."

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

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

I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least - and it is commonly more than that - sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements.
Henry David Thoreau

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

I have two doctors, my left leg and my right.
G. M. Trevelyan

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.
John Muir

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
