Quote

Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson
1786·Paris, France

If the body be feeble, the mind will not be strong. The sovereign invigorator of the body is exercise, and of all the exercises walking is best. A horse gives but a kind of half exercise, and a carriage is no better than a cradle.

PlatoPlato·360 BC

Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it.

John Stuart MillJohn Stuart Mill·1859

The mental and moral, like the muscular powers, are improved only by being used.

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.
