Walking Quotes

    “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. Even if one were to walk for one’s health and it were constantly one station ahead—I would still say: Walk!

    Besides, it is also apparent that in walking one constantly gets as close to well-being as possible, even if one does not quite reach it—but by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Health and salvation can be found only in motion… if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”

    Soren Kierkegaard

      “I’m not sure I’ve ever opened a social media app and then after logging off thought, ‘Wow, I’m so glad I did that.’ Conversely, I have never taken a walk without thinking, after, ‘I am so glad I did that.'”

      Ryan Holiday

        “It’s hard to do something rash after a good, long walk.”

        Cole Schafer

          “Today, make sure you take a walk. And in the future, when you get stressed or overwhelmed, take a walk. When you have a tough problem to solve or a decision to make, take a walk. When you want to be creative, take a walk. When you need to get some air, take a walk. When you have a phone call to make, take a walk. When you need some exercise, take a long walk. When you have a meeting or a friend over, take a walk together. Nourish yourself and your mind and solve your problems along the way.”

          Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic (Page 189)

            “Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: Every day I walk myself into a state of wellbeing 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.”

            Søren Kierkegaard, via Stillness is the Key (Page 193)
