True walking is the day's adventure, not exercise taken like medicine
Drawn from what Henry David Thoreau said
What Henry David Thoreau actually said
- Henry David Thoreau American philosopher and writer (1817 to 1862)
But the walking of which I speak has nothing in it akin to taking exercise, as it is called, as the sick take medicine at stated hours—as the swinging of dumb-bells or chairs; but is itself the enterprise and adventure of the day.
