More quotes by Walt Whitman
Do anything, but let it produce joy.
Walt Whitman
All music is what awakes from you when you are reminded by the instruments. It is not the violins and the cornets-it is not the oboe nor the beating drums, nor the score of the baritone singer singing his sweet romanza-nor that of the women's chorus it is nearer and farther than they.
Walt Whitman
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space.
Walt Whitman
The earth, that is sufficient, I do not want the constellations any nearer, I know they are very well where they are, I know they suffice for those who belong to them.
Walt Whitman
And a summit and flower there is the feeling they have for each other, And they are to branch boundlessly out of that lesson until it becomes omnific, And until one and all shall delight us, and we them.
Walt Whitman
I say no body of men are fit to make Presidents, judges and generals, unless they themselves supply the best specimens of the same and that supplying one or two such specimens illuminates the whole body for a thousand years.
Walt Whitman
Charity and personal force are the only investments worth anything.
Walt Whitman
Wisdom is not finally tested by the schools, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having it, Wisdom is of the soul, is not susceptible of proof, is its own proof.
Walt Whitman
I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you when I sit alone or wake at night alone, I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again, I am to see to it that I do not lose you.
Walt Whitman
NOT I - NOT ANYONE else, can travel that road for you, You must travel it for yourself.
Walt Whitman
When the materials are all prepared and ready, the architects shall appear.
Walt Whitman
But the people are ungrammatical, untidy, and their sins gaunt and ill-bred.
Walt Whitman
Now I see that there is no such thing as love unreturn'd. The pay is certain, one way or another.
Walt Whitman
I do not seek good fortune - I am good fortune!
Walt Whitman
That's beautiful: the hurrah game! well — it's our game: that's the chief fact in connection with it: America's game: has the snap, go fling, of the American atmosphere — belongs as much to our institutions, fits into them as significantly, as our constitutions, laws: is just as important in the sum total of our historic life.
Walt Whitman
Have you reckon’d a thousand acres much? have you reckon’d the earth much? Have you practis’d so long to learn to read? Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poems?
Walt Whitman
O the joy of my spirit - it is uncaged - it darts like lightning!
Walt Whitman
A woman waits for me, she contains all, nothing lacking.
Walt Whitman
Everybody is writing, writing, writing - worst of all, writing poetry. It'd be better if the whole tribe of the scribblers - every damned one of us - were sent off somewhere with tool chests to do some honest work.
Walt Whitman
Let that which stood in front go behind, let that which was behind advance to the front, let bigots, fools, unclean persons, offer new propositions, let the old propositions be postponed.
Walt Whitman
