The mountains are calling and I must go.In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time.Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life.Henry David Thoreau

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference.The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.Mañana does not always mean tomorrow. Sometimes it just means not today.Tranquilo: relax, it will happen, and worrying will not speed it up.Latin American saying

Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you. You must travel it by yourself.Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road, healthy, free, the world before me.Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.Far better it is to dare mighty things than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much.The missed ferry. The stranger who handed over a key. The meal that ran until midnight. If something happened to you on the road and you still think about it, send it - a few sentences is plenty, and we do the tidying up.
