Happiness, health and worn-out shoes

Happiness, health and worn-out shoes

May 20, 2014December 28, 2015 by Julie Zimmer

Nature says thou shalt keep the air, skate, swim, walk, ride, run. When you have worn out your shoes, the strength of the sole leather has passed into the fibre of your body. I measure your health by the number of shoes and hats and clothes you have worn out. He is the richest man who pays the largest debt to his shoemaker.
