“No wealth can buy the requisite leisure, freedom, and independence which are the capital in this profession. It comes only by the grace of God. It requires a direct dispensation from Heaven to become a walker. You must be born into the family of the Walkers. Ambulator nascitur, non fit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What joy can the years bring half so sweet as the unhappiness they’ve taken away?”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
