Quotations on WALKING
The art of walking is at once
suggestive of the dinity of man. Progressive motion is alone implies power, but
in almost every other instance it seems
a power gained at the expense of self-possession. – Tuckerman.
If you are for a merry jaunt I
will try for once who can foot it farthese. – Dryden.
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. The wandering man knows of
certain ancients, far gone in years, who have staved off infirmities and
dissolution by earnest walking - hale
fellows, close upon ninety, but brisk as boys. – Dickens.
The motto of Walking is
‘Health is Wealth; Walk your Way to Health’.
We should bring the overall awareness among the community on health
consciousness and bring awareness on the
development of physical, mental and spiritual aspects of life. Unless a person is physically and mentally
fit, he/she cannot be active and successful in life and produce the required
thoughts and actions to achieve the set goals.
