More quotes by Walt Whitman

Image
I cannot too often repeat that Democracy is a word the real gist of which still sleeps, quite unawakened, notwithstanding the resonance and the many angry tempests out of which its syllables have come, from pen or tongue. It is a great word, whose history, I suppose, remains unwritten because that history has yet to be enacted.
Walt Whitman

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.
Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman

I say that democracy can never prove itself beyond cavil, until it founds and luxuriantly grows its own forms of art, poems, schools, theology, displacing all that exists, or that has been produced anywhere in the past, under opposite influences.
Walt Whitman
Image
Many a good man I have seen go under.
Walt Whitman
Image
I henceforth tread the world, chaste, temperate, an early riser, a steady grower.
Walt Whitman
Image
Love the earth and sun and animals, Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, Stand up for the stupid and crazy, Devote your income and labor to others... And your very flesh shall be a great poem.
Walt Whitman
Image
I say to mankind, Be not curious about God. For I, who am curious about each, am not curious about God - I hear and behold God in every object, yet understand God not in the least.
Walt Whitman
Image
When the materials are all prepared and ready, the architects shall appear.

People who serve you without love get even behind your back.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.
