Walk about amidst the beautiful things that adorn the world

I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least — and it is commonly more than that — sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements.
-        Henry David Thoreau, Walking

I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beech-tree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.
- Thoreau, Walden

I like to walk about amidst the beautiful things that adorn the world.
- George Santayana
