"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn."

For those who value the spiritual impact of quotes…

Here are some inspirational ones all tackling hiking and walking.

1- "Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer. Camp out among the grasses and gentians of glacial meadows, in craggy garden nooks full of nature's darlings."
-- John Muir ( a famous American explorer, writer, naturalist- best known for defending species and wilderness regions against the destructive hands of modernity.)

2- "Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn."
-- Also by John Muir

3- "If you are seeking creative ideas, go out walking.  Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk." 
-- Raymond Inmon

4- "Above all, do not lose your desire to walk.  Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness.  I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it."  -- Soren Kierkegaard

5- "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

6- "May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds."

7- "You need special shoes for hiking - and a bit of a special soul as well." 
-- Emme Woodhull-Bäche
