Looking for a good collection of quotations about walking? Look no further! Here is a compilation of walking quotes:

"Me thinks that the moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow.” ~Henry David Thoreau

“When you have worn out your shoes, the strength of the shoe leather has passed into the fiber of your body.  I measure your health by the number of shoes and hats and clothes you have worn out.”  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.  Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.  The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.”  ~John Muir

“Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.”  ~Steven Wright

“Make your feet your friend.”  ~J.M. Barrie

“My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty.  She's ninety-three today and we don't know where the heck she is.”  ~Ellen DeGeneres

“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

“All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.”  ~Friedrich Nietzsche

“The sum of the whole is this: walk and be happy; walk and be healthy. The best way to lengthen out our days is to walk steadily and with a purpose.”  ~Charles Dickens

“The best, the most exquisite automobile is a walking stick; and one of the finest things in life is going on a journey with it.”  ~Robert Coates Holliday

“In walking, the will and the muscles are so accustomed to working together and performing their task with so little expenditure of force that the intellect is left comparatively free.”  ~Oliver Wendell Holmes

“Walking is man’s best exercise.” ~Hippocrates

"Many people nowadays live in a series of interiors...disconnected from each other. On foot everything stays connected, for while walking one occupies the spaces between those interiors in the same way one occupies those interiors. One lives in the whole world rather than in interiors built up against it."  ~Rebecca Solnit (Wanderlust: A History of Walking)

“If you are seeking creative ideas, go out walking. Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk.”  ~Raymond Inman
