Søren KierkegaardSøren Kierkegaard·1847

Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.

HippocratesHippocrates·-400 AD
