More quotes by Walt Whitman
Have you learned the lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed passage with you?
Walt Whitman
What has miserable, inefficient Mexico...to do with the great mission of peopling the New World with a noble race?
Walt Whitman
All architecture is what you do to it when you look upon it.
Walt Whitman
I loafe and invite my soul.
Walt Whitman
I keep thinking about you every few minutes all day.
Walt Whitman
I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware I sit content, And if each and all be aware I sit content. One world is aware, and by the far the largest to me, and that is myself, And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years, I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait.
Walt Whitman
After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, and so on - have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear - what remains? Nature remains.
Walt Whitman
O lands! O all so dear to me - what you are, I become part of that, whatever it is.
Walt Whitman
People who serve you without love get even behind your back.
Walt Whitman
I am large, I contain multitudes
Walt Whitman
Either define the moment or the moment will define you.
Walt Whitman
The United States themselves are essentially the greatest poem.
Walt Whitman
Where the earth is, we are.
Walt Whitman
Shut not your doors to me proud libraries.
Walt Whitman
We arrange our lives-even the best and boldest men and women that exist, just as much as the most limited-with reference to what society conventionally rules and makes right.
Walt Whitman
Perhaps the efforts of the true poets, founders, religions, literatures, all ages, have been, and ever will be, our time and times to come, essentially the same - to bring people back from their present strayings and sickly abstractions, to the costless, average, divine, original concrete.
Walt Whitman
The purpose of democracy - supplanting old belief in the necessary absoluteness of establish'd dynastic rulership, temporal, ecclesiastical, and scholastic, as furnishing the only security against chaos, crime, and ignorance - is, through many transmigrations, and amid endless ridicules, arguments, and ostensible failures
Walt Whitman
I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.
Walt Whitman
You will hardly know who I am or what I mean, But I shall be good health to you nevertheless, And filter and fibre your blood. Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, Missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you.
Walt Whitman
What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the print I have read in my life.
Walt Whitman
