Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman
O the joy of the strong-brawn'd fighter, towering in the arena in perfect condition, conscious of power, thirsting to meet his opponent.

Walt Whitman
But the people are ungrammatical, untidy, and their sins gaunt and ill-bred.
Walt Whitman
Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.
Walt Whitman
It is only the novice in political economy who thinks it is the duty of government to make its citizens happy - government has no such office.
Walt Whitman
I have no mockings or arguments I witness and wait.
Walt Whitman
The art of art... is simplicity.
Walt Whitman
At times it has been doubtful to me if Emerson really knows or feels what Poetry is at its highest, as in the Bible, for instance, or Homer or Shakspeare. I see he covertly or plainly likes best superb verbal polish, or something old or odd
Walt Whitman
Pointing to another world will never stop vice among us shedding light over this world can alone help us.
