quotations about walking
Most of the time, driving less and walking more is awesome. Choosing to walk or take transit is an easy way to hit my 10,000 step goal on my Fitbit and helps me think clearer. Plus, I save tons of money and sleep more soundly at night knowing my carbon footprint is probably smaller than others' because I'm not driving everywhere I go.

Whenever You're Gone, I'm Here For You
The truth is, walking is an art. It takes skill to walk, just as it takes skill to go hiking or rock climbing. Think about it like this: Why do people hike? When they're done, do they talk about how exhausted they were and justify the hike as exercise? Some first-timers might, but for regular hikers this is hardly the case. People hike because there's something beautiful and joyous about it, whether for the beauty of the scenery or an uplifting feeling in the body.

Walking is like the ongoing picking up and straightening up you do in your house every single day. It's not exciting. There's no great benefit at the end. But it must be done.

THOMAS JEFFERSON
letter to Peter Carr, Aug. 19, 1785
He put on a little knapsack and he walked through Indiana and Kentucky and North Carolina and Georgia clear to Florida. He walked among farmers and mountain people, among swamp people and fishermen. And everywhere people asked him why he was walking through the country. Because he loved true things he tried to explain.

Simple Reminders: Inspiration for Living Your Best Life
Walking is a year-round activity, and need not be confined to the dry summer months, for there is as much beauty to be found in the countryside in the leafless months of winter as in vibrant spring and the golden days of autumn.

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
Distance changes utterly when you take the world on foot. A mile becomes a long way, two miles literally considerable, ten miles whopping, fifty miles at the very limits of conception. The world, you realize, is enormous in a way that only you and a small community of fellow hikers know. Planetary scale is your little secret.
