None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

It is a great art to saunter !
Interpretation
Sauntering is an art of walking with purpose and appreciation of the moment.
Henry David Thoreau's quote emphasizes the concept of sauntering as a mindful approach to walking. It suggests that there is an inherent beauty and skill in taking leisurely walks, encouraging us to slow down, appreciate our surroundings, and engage fully with the world rather than rushing through life.
In practice
In a motivational speech about taking time for oneself, I could use this quote to stress the importance of enjoying life's journey.
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.
Through want of enterprise and faith men are where they are, buying and selling and spending their lives like servants.
An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.
Have no mean hours, but be grateful for every hour, and accept what it brings. The reality will make any sincere record respectable.
As every season seems best to us in its turn, so the coming in of spring is like the creation of Cosmos out of Chaos and the realization of the Golden Age.
That grand old poem called Winter
When things go wrong, this is what you should do. Make good art.
I do fashion to tell a narrative.
If all meanings could be adequately expressed by words, the arts of painting and music would not exist.
I don't write for children. I write and someone says it's for children.
My strength is looking for composition and light, and I think those things come in the quieter times of war or photographing people affected on the margins of war - civilians, refugees; that is where I really excel.
When you pose for a photograph, it's behind a smile that isn't yours. You are angry and hungry and alive. What I value in you is that intensity. I want to make portraits as intense as people.
